Glenn has a great article in JLC on this but it seems that, at that time, the IRC was not really clear. So I'm asking.
Existing ICF stem wall - 12" thick. Top is minimum 16" above ground. Existing 2x4 wall on a pt 2x6 sill, no visible sill sealer. I'm planning - actually got permit yesterday - to finish space including a non-load bearing wall flush with inside of stem wall. Would you permit that I need sill to be untreated on a foam sill sealer?
As Glenn points out, lots of exceptions to the general rule of decay resistant material on a slab on ground.
Related, is a 2x4 sill on an ICF - 2" foam - 8" concrete - 2" foam - a problem (non-load bearing)? Probably why existing is a 2x6.
Thanks!
