If they would have only used metal all the holes would have already been there for them.

What is the distance of "grade to the window sill"? Over 60 inches? Under?

Nobody has answered your question about "is it a bored hole or a knotch", because we cant believe you are actually asking it. The answer is, you have both in close proximity to each other, which depending, could be an issue.

The question was rhetorical to illustrate that whichever you think it is, it's wrong either way.

Update: feedback from the buyer.

County inspector said the code only applies to 2x4 studs so it is OK. (B.S.)

The builder replaced the column anyway. (Why, I don't know.)
