Perfect

 

[fatboy]

wow, wow, wow, wow!

Yeah, I got me a brand new reciprocating saw, I can make it fit, no problem.

How did you keep from laughing out loud right on the spot?

 

[rshuey]

I have an entire folder of workmanship. I might have to start my own ICE thread

 

[rshuey]

You see how the HVAC guy installed 2 4 x 4's(you can see one in the pic)

rshuey,

Can you please submit a photo of the compliant fix for this. Thanks!

Does Lowes or Home Depot carry that? Prety sure 84 Lumber and Builders Square went under because they could'nt get the "Great Stuff"

 

[globe trekker]

Great Stuff and gray duct tape can fix anything!

.

 

[rshuey]

You have to buy the orange great stuff, not the yellow great stuff. the yellow isn't "structural"

 

[fatboy]

I thought if you had duct tape then you didn't even need the great stuff..........

Cannot really see enought in the pic but it may be ok as a bearing post is added to the right and on the left is a wall-- why didnt they just cut it off?

 

[Alias]

Priceless! :mrgreen:

 

[codeworks]

why didn't they just offset it into the floor joist space (kick it up towards the subfloor). nice job, not! that puts the "H" in hack....

Notch is OK, duct is too small. Then the dead tree could be screwed to the duct.

I had to ask my Administrative Assist if it was code compliant, she is still laughing.

Who uses galvanized pipe for plumbing, is that fire sprinkler piping?

 

[David Henderson]

Fill the notch with High Pressure Rags and seal in with Duct tape.Good to go.

Sprinkler pipe is black or orange

 

[Big Mac]

rule of thumb - if yoiu have to ask, it's too large.

 

[TheCommish]

in wet or damp location sprinkler piping can be galvinized also, just finished a highway garage an the speck call for all the piping to be galvinized.
