5.0 out of 5 stars 49 states are now adopting this Code, September 7, 2003

This review is from: International Building Code 2003 (Paperback)

Better learn this code. Local codes are being swept away by one standard. Here is Colorado each town had its own test, amendments and licensing system. California is the only state, having revamped its code 2 years ago, to keep its system.
I finish basements, often for homeowners who think they can do it. From Loveland, I can work any city without irate inspectors wondering why I don't know their specific requirements. Good book.

Boring book...but aren't all books that are written by lawyers? It seems to be organized well and the looseleaf version is easy to make copies to take in the field or show the guys...
