Re: End bearing requirements
Yesssss. That IS an ugly connection, I would like to point out that having made connections such as that, I would have to assume that a LTP plate or gussetting (more likely hardware) would have been required there.

That being said the min. bearing req's appear that they MAY not be met on the GluLam on the right. Framer slipped some sheathing in there to make void less noticeable to Inspector. Hard to tell from pic but it looks like glu lam on left is bearing close to center and GluLam on right was cut short and only bearing about 1". OOPS
