Yes, you do- if you're building something for public access. But if _I_ want
to build a private toilet for _my_ access on _my_ rented premises, which is
exactly what I was doing, _I_ don't have to make it accessible to anybody
but me. The fact that I was looking at making it accessible to other people
who happen to be in chairs, etc is a choice on my part, and none of the
ADA's business.

Ahh.  Now a private toilet for your access, that is totally out of the rhelm
of anybody's complaint.  Though there are many people in the world who make
it a point of going around and telling others what they must and must not
do, and not all of them are in church either<G>.

There are a sufficiency of portacastles on site, and we even made sure that
there was one designed for handicapped folks nearby, by petitioning the
campground owner, among the same facilities for the rest of us.

> Now, like zoning laws, if no one complains, you are ok.

As far as I'm concerned, they can complain to their hearts content, and I
can tell them precisely where to get off- and have, and will. What's
interesting is that a dear friend, who is very much involved with ADA and
understands what I was doing, agrees with me- _I_ have no requirement to
make the pot HC accessible, since _I'm_ not responsible for the campground
facilities.

Yes.  Once you made it clear that it is a Private toilet, the rules change
to none<G>.

Whoops- oh well.

I'm surprised you can't get people's addies off TheForge. IE, which you guys
cuss so much, gives them to me every time I respond or forward.

I read on another email on the list that it is in my Outlook configuration.
I did a quick look and didn't see exactly what the fella mentioned, will
give another quick look tomorrow.  Outlook was configured by management, and
of course they don't tell us what they did or how to change it<G>.  Too many
variables for them to fix.

All the Best.
