Paying attention to joist hangars

[jar546]

Something did not look right at first glance on this LVL to LVL connection point.

Further looking revealed that this was an I-Joist hangar bent to fit and not the correct hangar for this application. This point was carrying 1/2 the load of 7 I-Joists for the 2nd floor.

Nice catch.

Oh yeah. The proper hanger for that location will be much more substantial.

Correction would be "Provide manufacturer's approval for altering joist hanger". You know they won't get it.

Sounds like Jeff is tearing them folks a "new one" at every step. You go boy!

Jeff, make sure to carry a spare set of batteries...we don't want to miss your next adventure!!

Yeah, unfortunately enforcing minimum standards eventually causes premature employment termination.

Memorize the simpson catalog (or just look at both sides of the LVL)

This is a painfully true statement! :-(
