The plan shows a wall that is retaining 5'6" with no surcharge. The wall will be retaining 7' to 8' and then there is the fence built on caissons.

An average day

The inspection was for new windows. The woman that answered the door is elderly. She was caring for her mother in another bedroom.
I told her about the fifty. She was surprised and said she thought she had sent that to her sister.
I do not enter occupied dwellings without a responsible adult present. This points out that I shouldn't enter rooms without a responsible person present.

This job will produce some interesting mistakes....every time I go there.

"...joists shall be supprted by not less than 1.5 inches of bearing on..."

Ice,
on post #576 did they use the joists as forms for placing concrete? guess they'd get green points for that one ....

Yes they did.GBrackins said:
Most of the short joists and unusual laps are of little consequence. Well unless the joists are shown as doubled on the plans. Even with that there may not be a reason for both joists to be bearing as long as they are sufficiently nailed together. It looks like they didn't want to use a saw so they nailed it together running everything long for no apparent reason.GBrackins said:
What's somewhat troubling is that they did it at all. This is the job where they left many form boards stuck in the concrete. They have the ability to build square, tight, level and plumb but they might be prone to fatal mistakes.

It's a pretty good chance that some of the signs are stolen.
The fence is covered in license plates.
Vacation souvenirs?

I don't know....if you ask me, that garage door looks out of place.
This colorful 7 bedroom 3 bath 2500 sq. ft. Chino Hills beauty, built in 2003, can be yours for a mere $289,900.00

Agree with you ICE, garage doors look misplaced.

In this case it was a solar contractor that overlooked this open box. By overlooked, I don't mean that it wasn't fixed. It is that the fact that nothing was said to the owner and if I don't bring it up, it will not be fixed. It kinda makes the contractor look like a dummy because the owner wonders what sort of workmen did he get that didn't notice this. And such an easy repair as this...the cover is probably laying in the attic...not far from the box.
In fairness to the solar contractor...he didn't know that this is a problem

I didn't want to climb the wood ladder
So they set up the Little Giant ladder....just for me.
Gosh, the things I am asked to do.

They figured that they were in the clear because they can still get an SUV into the bedroom/garage.
