Default Is it permitted...
Is it permitted to notch a bottom plate of a load-bearing wood stud wall? I understand the restrictions for top plates. But I can not find anything about alterations at bottom plates. Anyone?

Yes, since I've found nothing in the IRC preventing it.

yes its permitted as long as there are no vertical loads coming down over the notch like under a post or such. If you weren't able to notch the soul plate how would you not trip on the plate when going through a door way.

hope that helps,
