2024 IRC

[steveray]

Working on a proposal(s) to eliminate IRC fire protection of floors in detached accessory structures with no habitable space above them and to allow "non-drywalled" HT construction to serve as the garage separation (think log home).....

Anyone with input, feel free to reach out....

I like it on both counts. Fire protection of floors is to protect firefighters who wouldn't typically enter a burning shed?? And HT would be at least as fire resistant as 1/2" gyp, especially when happy homeowner pokes it full of holes, which is less likely with HT. JMHO.

steveray, if you want to send me your proposals, I would be happy to run them up with the Colorado Chapter's code development committee, see if they would back them. Might be a good opportunity for some ahead of time vetting. I can pm you if you don't have my email.

Wasn't it just last year we were looking at going from the 2000 IRC to the 2003? Where the hell is time going?

Yeah....A lot of folks around here will never see the 2027 code that we are working on changes for...
