Q5.26: If we had only one sufficient access point (sized 1″ wide and 2.25″ tall) between two floor areas on a floor and were to glue in a member that would act purely as a piece to hold the dead weight rods in place (i.e. a plate with a 0.5″ diameter hole), could that access point still be sufficient or will it be ruled null due to the rod-holding members?

A: This access point would be ruled null due to the rod-holding members.  The minimum 1 in. x 2.25 in. access point discussed in Section 5.6.c of the Official Rules must be clear of any balsa wood members.
