I have never seen a girder splice done like this.

I have seen that splice a year ago or so...Maybe HD is doing a timber frame class now?

I would have to say ?ell NO! :hororr:
They requested a framing inspection. This was the first thing that I noticed.
The other end of the rafters defies description....and that is what the correction notice says.
The guy that met me is just a guy that meets people. He called the "contractor". That would be a contractor that has the owner pull the permits. When I asked him if he was the contractor he said nope "I am the job superintendent". He wanted to know what was wrong. Well there's enough wrong that I told him that it would have to come down and start over. For example there is a 20' opening with a 4"x10" that supports ceiling joists from two sides and rafters from two sides. The plans call for a MicroLam LVL.
The owner was within hearing distance and wanted to know why I let them install the wrong beam.... wrong headers, wrong hardware, wrong king posts, etc. I was asked if we missed an inspection of the material before it is installed. All I could think of was, "You picked the wrong crew."

Less than 3 pitch?
R802.2 Design and construction. The framing details required in Section R802 apply to roofs having a minimum slope of three units vertical in 12 units horizontal (25-percent slope) or greater.
Where the roof pitch is less than three units vertical in 12 units horizontal (25-percent slope), structural members that support rafters and ceiling joists, such as ridge beams, hips and valleys, shall be designed as beams.
The funny thing is it tells you you cannot use 802, but it does not say what to use...

Jeff,
The first 12 posts of this thread got messed up during the forum swap. They don't make sense without the correct picture. I can't edit so do me a favor and delete the first 12 posts.
Thanks

This is a disconnect for a roof mounted package unit. The outlet box to the right has a receptacle. It won't be a deadly receptacle until something is plugged in and turned on.
It's not that easy to pack so many violations in such a small space.

OK Ice, now a moderator, edit away.
Thanks for that Jeff. I was able to fix the first post. Not all that easy because I have to go to an old computer and look through 4,110 pictures. I found this picture near the front of the file but some of the others may never be found.
As people find threads with missing or wrong pictures....if you tell me about it I may be able to fix it.

The inspection was related to a bathroom remodel. I wasn't afraid because there's a padlock on the door.
And the light is on.
I couldn't take pictures once I was inside but oh my what a place it is. There's not a square inch that isn't covered by some knickknack.

In post #1996 there was a dirt pile that caught my attention. I wrote a correction slip that asked the owner to contact me. I also advised that the fence was not a retaining wall and to not pile dirt against it.
Here is before:
This is after:
I don't like it when I am ignored...but I can't let it bother me because it happens a lot. I am not convinced that the 20" of dirt that has been added is a big deal. Worth noting is that the other properties that abut the alley have a fence a little bit West of this guy. H'm, I wonder if he has crossed the property line. Like I said, I don't like it when I am ignored.

The mechanical contractor called me at 8:15 am and asked me what time I was going to arrive for his inspection. I told him that it would happen between 9 and noon. He asked me to delay as long as I could so that he can round up a ladder.
I got there around 2:00pm.
Obviously I was too early.
It appears that the plenum is the support for the package unit. He told me that it is a new way doing it and he will come up with the installation instructions that show this. I wonder if the instructions show the unit tilted to follow the roof pitch.

I think that it might be tough on the bearing when the fan is tilted. Really just a guess on my part.

He didn't really want you to inspect it by the looks of the ladder! 
The electrician said that he didn't knock the vent loose. What a slug. Either way, he's an idiot that doesn't know any better.

Are too many staples a violation of the Tiger Code?
Yes. I'll get a picture after it is corrected.
And check it out conarb, when there is a violation of the Tiger Code there is almost always a load of California Code violations as well. How many do you see here?
