would no longer be strict to code since it's a large space with no firebreak,

other end of the house (and was only ever gas, not wood, and isn't even
used for the furnace since I replaced the old burner with a 90-whatever%
efficiency model with PVC exhaust).
No obvious code violations at my place. Nothing to see. Move along.
You still have time to put that secret passage between the lab and the
