The meeting went terribly. We were wrong, code guy was right. He did not listen to a word we said.
After the meeting, we called our supervisor. He wasn't interested in anything we said - the code guy is a god. If the code guy says we're wrong, then we must be wrong.
Our new lawyer was very nice and thinks we have a great case. Amazing how nice and agreeable people are when you are paying them a lot of money!
And we were doing some more research tonight and came across a section in the flood insurance pages that say that 50% open walls do not form enclosures. This was in the same document that the code guy says we violate. So now we have a slam dunk case, assuming that we can get anyone to listen to us. That's where the lawyer gets to earn his fees.
