Good morning all!
I have a set of plans for a Residential addition. The "drawer of the plans"
is indicating attachment of "new" treated wood studs to an existing exterior
brick veneer wall. Not sure why!
Is this proposed attachment [ of treated wood studs to an existing
exterior masonry brick wall ] allowed by code? We are using the 2006 IRC.
The "proposed" attached wall will be the exterior wall of the addition,
although all of it will be on the interior of the new addition. The "drawer
of the plans" has indicated to install the wall anchors in to the masonry
itself, and not in to the mortar joints.
Thanks for any input! Also, code sections please. I am under the
assumption that anchoring in to masonry is a "no-no"!
