I had a mostly successful final inspection of my new master bath this morning with just a few small items on the punch list. One of those items was caulking under the toilet. The inspector said it was code. I know I've seen MANY posts stating that it is preferable not to caulk so a leak would show up immediately. Is anyone aware of a specific code reference? For the record, I'm in Portland, OR. I'm not going to battle the inspector, I'm just curious now. I think I'll silicone it and do a poor enough job that any leaks will still seep through.
