thanks for all your replies and I had no intention of starting a code tournament but very interesting results and info. And as we all knew from the start. The house will have to be torn down leaving only the roofing fasteners suspended in the air through electro magnetic pulse and then rebuilt around those nails reusing them as stated in irc #%^$$%&%$.
In other words. The builder is pissed as usual in that he saved 75 dollars to spend 4 grand. Live and learn. Thanks again, wayne
