Phillip Posted October 3, 2007 Report Posted October 3, 2007 In the attic there is some damage framing and some that does not look right. This is one of the areas that just don't look right. What do you say? Image Insert: 120.12 KB Here is some of the damage Image Insert: 105.99 KB
John Dirks Jr Posted October 3, 2007 Report Posted October 3, 2007 There is lack of bearing points to support load. Word it how you want but something along those lines.
inspector57 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Posted October 3, 2007 Everything in the picture looks fine to me, afterall, they did us that structural foam.[]
AHI in AR Posted October 3, 2007 Report Posted October 3, 2007 Tell 'em they need to find a competent framer! In the first photo you have poorly cut rafters at a hip-to-ridge joint. While it won't be picture-perfect, that can be repaired with a properly scabbed 2X6 on the rafter that's too short. Photo #2 is funny...as though liquid nails and Great Stuff foam will hold that mess together! I'm guessing that's the ridge over some intersecting gable such as the garage. That short valley definitely needs repair as it's carrying roof load. And the nails are shot through it right near the ragged edge...not much holding capability there. This guy needs to learn how to cut compound angles...
msteger Posted October 6, 2007 Report Posted October 6, 2007 Looks like a bad carpenter. Call it out for review/repair.
