EFFICIENT FRAMING TECHNIQUES
AS.404.1 Wood framing. Employ advanced wood framing
techniques or OVE, as recommended by the U.S. Department
of Energy's Office of Building Technology, State and Community
Programs and as permitted by the enforcing agency.
AS.404.1.1 Structural or fire-resistance integrity. The
OVE selected shall not conflict with structural framing
methods or fire-rated assemblies required by the California
Building Code.
AS.404.1.2 Framing specifications. Advanced framing
techniques include the following:
1. Building design using 2-foot modules;
2. Spacing wall studs up to 24 inches on center;
3. Spacing floor and roof framing members up to 24
inches on center;
4. Using 2-stud comer framing and drywall clips or
scrap lumber for drywall backing;
5. Eliminating solid headers in non-load-bearing walls;
6. Using in-line framing, aligning floor, wall and roof
framing members vertically for direct transfer of
loads; and
7. Using single lumber headers and top plates where
appropriate.

2013 California Green Code said:AS.40S.2.2 Rapidly renewable materials. Use materials
made from plants harvested within a ten-year cycle for at
least 2.5 percent of total materials value, based on estimated
cost.
AS.40S.3 Reused materials. Use salvaged, refurbished, refinished
or reused materials for a minimum of 5 percent of the
total value, based on estimated cost of materials on the project.
Provide documentation as to the respective values.
Note: Sources of some reused materials can be found at
CalRecycle. See also Appendix A5, Division A5.I, Section
A5.105.1 for on-site materials reuse.
The first picture shows the paper under the valley flashing....the next picture shows that they forgot it.ICE...The first pic in 2045, is it mainly the nailing about 2" down from the top of the shingle that is the issue or is there something else I am not seeing right now?
The paper under is not required....no? And the parallel runs are over.....The first picture shows the paper under the valley flashing....the next picture shows that they forgot it.
What I don't understand about the inspector's suggestions is why he didn't suggest something we've done forever, usually on 4:12 pitch homes that have porches where the pitch flattens out. namely install roll roofing and apply the shingles on top of the roll roofing. It is mandatory now to install a light-colored roll roofing under tile roofing of all pitches, apparently an energy code thingy to reflect heat up to save the planet.
I never pay any attention to warranties, getting a manufacturer of construction products to honor a warranty costs more than just paying to fix it yourself. An example, most caulking has a warranty of 50 years written on each tube, read the mall print, you have to provide a copy of the receipt for each tube, you also have to provide the actual computer code cut from each tube, if you succeed they limit their liability to the cost of each tub and specifically reject any consequential damages, so you get $4.95 from the manufacturer and can have millions of dollars in mold damages..Quoting Tommy, the oldest Henderson boy, "here's the thing about that". We're not dealing with a porch.
By the way, when shingles are applied on a pitch below 2" the warranty is void. If shingles are applied over roll roofing, two warranties are void.
It was, it was voluntary, but there is another reason, if a church rents out space to others it is considered a public accommodation and must be ADA compliant, I can't rent any car and smoke my cigars in it because California has ruled that car rentals are public accommodations, my voting place changed about 5 years ago to a local Episcopal church, a voting place certainty has to be ADA compliant. BTW, permit fees were double normal residential permit fees, I asked why and the CBO told me churches are considered commercial enterprises and pay the higher commercial permit fees.I don't think that it's called ADA work when it takes place at a church.
