Re: Deck without permit
Funny, I just did a contractor change on a, well what could have been a nice deck, the h/o called me concerned about some of the issues she was having w/ her current contractor, boy was she spot-on, nothing like the plans showed, the main beam had a 3/4" sag in the middle screwed to the 6x6's w/ tec-screws yes there were three posts, the stairs were way non-compliant, as a matter of fact the bottom step was 11 1/4", the rest were 7", well except for the top step which was 9". The contractor left 3 1/2" of 4x4 post to fasten to the deck, fastened w/ two lags, still not enough to get proper anchorage or support, anyway I ran my list up to eight items and terminated the inspection, a couple days later I recieved the call she was changing contractors. Oh yeah, this deck WAS permited, omg what a mess, the previous contractors name was some fencing company, go figure. Bill, P.S. I'm PM'ing the county about this site, thanks again JAR! :roll:
