I've searched the forums and have come up a little empty on this.
As I read R317.1(2) I see where any wood framing members closer than 8" to grade are to be protected/preservative treated, but if you provide the protection/preservative treatment, where in the **California Residential Code** would I find the minimum separation distance no matter what? As long as I've been in the architecture business (30+ years) it's always been minimum 6" clear; I'd just like to be able to know the code section that backs it up (or says what it needs to be).
Thanks, everyone, for your help - I really enjoy the help this forum shows in (almost) every post!
