Jim Baird Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Anybody here ever seen sheet metal panels applied in residential use to 2X "nailers" on top of rafters, no decking, no felt paper, no nuthin? Local spec builder put this on new house. I flagged it as problemo. Told buyer's agent to make the builder show documents from manufacturer stating he could do this. Haven't heard from them. The realtor and buyer were a little stunned when I cranked out 3500 words and multiple defects on this brand new unit. Realtor said my report was "too technical".
monte Posted October 3, 2005 Report Posted October 3, 2005 Jim Yes to Pole Barns, Machine Sheds NEVER on a home as you describe the construction. Same question was asked over at Inspectonnews.com, here is the link http://inspectionnews.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000070.html (Metal Roofs) The construction method you asked about is also a defect, which I hope you placed in you report.
