How to Park your Pride and Joy - House for Sale

[Poorboy_racer]

Why isn't it to code? How do you know this isn't approved??

Why can't this be in a new place???

I wonder how many houses don't currently 100% comply with whatever 'code' is in place?? My old house didn't, my current unit doesn't... big deal.... Why is it a fire risk? How different is it to a gas heater / fire place / stove??

I design houses for a living. Sorry to be a killjoy but
you have to have min 100mm between a garage floor level and the house level (suposedly to contain any flamable spillage) which is why you should step up from your garage into your house. If you have a window between a garage and a dwelling it has to be high level or fire rated glass which is very expensive. They are suposed to be fire seperated areas. Yes I see a lot of houses which one way or another dont comply with the BCA and, or R Codes. In theory I supose you could possibly do it, if you agreed to drain all petrol out of the car before parking it in the dwelling rendering it a display rather than an operational car. How is it different to a Gas Heater? fair point, I dont make the rules. But you should see the rules for flamable goods storage which as far as the BCA is conserned a car is.
