Cut Engineered Board
Inspected this 6 year old home with TJI'S. The attached photo shows two 6 inch ducts going through an engineered board, possibly a timberstrand, parallam, microlam which does not rest on the beam below which supports a bearing wall above.
I wrote it up recommending review by qualified contractor and all necessary repairs. The buyer's attorney received a fax by a licensed contractor who stated that there is no problem and not future problems.
What's the purpose of the cut board which is under a bearing wall?
