Negative proof - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Phillip,

No double negatives there.

*This* is what I said (except that I've added underlining for readability purposes): "I know of NO exception which excepts out the attic access cover from having to comply with the minimum ceiling R value for attic ceiling insulation."

An 'exception' removes an item from a requirement, with no exception, the item is not removed from the requirement - thus I know of no exception ... which excepts out ... those attic access hatch covers, whether over an opening or over a pull-down stair.

Not withstanding the not withstanding makes one withstanding?
