Joist support
This is in a house I am purchasing in PA. It is an A-frame with an open area above the dining room/living room with a loft and a bedroom on the upper level.
The overall width of the home is 28' and the joists are 16'. I am concerned with the block supporting one of the joists. It appears that the column is in the wrong place. Is this block supporting the right joist adequate? The wooded block is attached with one lag bolt. This installation was approved by the AHJ but one must remember that PA has only been working with IRC for two years. Prior, there was no code.
I have contacted two engineers but never received a return call. Any of you PA guys know of an engineer that will go to the WLE in Lake Erial to look at this?
Thanks
Frank
