Coming soon....

I don't know how many people are aware of this, but a supplement to the IRC will be out shortly (if not already) concerning deck connections.

This will require exact location of bolts (2 inches in from edge, 2 inches from top & bottom staggered). It will also require that at least two locations, the deck joist must tie directly to the interior floor joists.

The problem is the diagram also shows the interior sub floor being nailed 6 inches on center of the (interior) joists that are connected to the deck joists. When adding a deck, how can this be accomplished?
