The windows in the back bedroom do not count as egress windows. Egress simply means access, and the opening must be 5.7 square feet to allow firemen access. The window is 5.7 square feet, but you have to 1) unlock, 2) unhinge the bottom sash, and 3) unhinge the top sash. For the window to count as egress, you can only have 2 actions, not 3.
So my options are to order a casement window to replace one of the currently installed windows (time, $), or remove the closet framing and reclassify the 2nd bedroom as an office.
Meanwhile, the insulation is nearly complete.
