Virginia just barely beats Pennsylvania. We're (finally) adopting the 2015 code on Sept. 4.

Oh, yeah, the 2015 codes except the IRC for wall bracing will still stay at the 2006 codes. Guess why....

Yep! But the contractors don't know that! The DP's are designing to the 2018! I just look at them and think to myself I get what is on the plan. I don't get paid to tell them any different. ROFL!
