(hint: the black dots are 6" OC)

Every nail overdriven as well.
 
Good Lord, you know, they keep trying and trying to make it idiot proof and all you get is a worse grade of idiot. Marking the spots to nail with black dots, but the idiots can't use the visual guild - I'll stick with runways, terminals and garages. Sometimes I don't know how you guys do it.

are the rafters on 6" centers or is there a $hitload of blocking in there?
The rafters are 12" OC Microlams (12" tall I believe). Engineered design with massive steel frame for a residence. I will try and snap some pictures of the inside when I am back to reinspect.

BTW this was the house with a Simpson Strongwall sitting in the middle of the floor, not tied into anything.
