Good morning to all. I live in Kentucky and it adopts the 2015 IRC with Kentucky amendments. I'm going to be installing some new construction windows in my home and will have to reframe a few of them due to bad previous installation practices. In searching for the current codes, I was somewhat confused on what is meant by "deleted in its entirety".
I have the official 2015 IRC code book and it states;
R312.2.1 Window sills. Section R312.2.1 of the 2015 IRC shall be DELETED in its entirety. (The document offers no stated amendments)
Does this means that Kentucky does not recognize R312.2.1 (deleted in its entirety) of the 2015 IRC, therefore doesn't require fall protection as stated in the 2015 IRC?
Can someone help me on this please because I'm also having a very similar issue in regards to window egress as well. Thank you very much and experience. Its much appreciated.
