Hello Everyone,
I am working on 2 story and a roof framing addition on a single story building. The code to be used is International Residential Code which says that in order for addition of two or more stories, the lower floor has to be 2x6 studs @ 16" O.C. The existing studs in this building are 2x4s @ 16" O.C. which the village is not going to pass. Is there a way to get around that problem? Can I sister it or somehow reinforce it so that city won't have a problem with it?
Thanks,
Wasib Jamil
