Re: Shear Walls
Jerry P makes an excellent point which has been the bane of my life first as a builder, latter an inspector, and now a consultant. I could repeat horror stories galore regarding careless AHJ from the top to bottom! (BO, plan checkers, field inspectors, and the lack of in-house educational training) However, my new vent is now directed at how often manufacturer's installation instructions are totally ignored due to either stupidity or lack of language skills. (No puedo leer Ingles)
