Re: Bumper Question

No, using 1/2" plywood for the bumpers is illegal - it must be 3/4" plywood. As for being OK... it's possible you inspector won't notice (and also entirely possible he/she will notice - you get used to feeling 3/4" thickness, and anything less will make you pull out a tape measure), and that you can live with it... but also keep in mind that many inspectors keep an eye on CD here, and it's possible those for your regional now know to double check your backing material thickness.
