The overhang should have been ripped off and the patio cover attached to the structure/top plate to keep from a separation problem.

2X6 ceiling/rafters are spanning how far??? Probably over spanned!

You must admit Wayne. Being in the position you are and we Texas HIs are we see this all the time down here. No it is not right and I right it up all the time. The reason they do it like this and think it is OK is because there are no other loads on it here.

I write it up and maybe a few percent are fixed
