Re: Heel Cut on Interior Bedroom Ceiling.....Oooops

If you let the framer get away with this without some kind of repair, they'll keep over cutting the rafters, joists.. studs..

make them fix it once, and they'll be more careful.

Insulation and drywall aren't that light.. the overcuts will fail with time (maybe a different homeowner)... but now that it's in the public domain.. have them fix.

Mule -

As I looked at the pictures it looked like the rafters behind the one in the picture also had all the overcuts. While it was a more than adequate fix, what you had them do, sometimes having them do it right helps prevent the problem in future projects. Sometimes when we give them/allow them the fix, the contractor just figures that we (the inspector) will come up with a fix for sloppy work in the future. I'm not so sure I'd have allowed the fix; however I know that we all consider circumstances.
