I've not seen this before. New construction with the deck joist hangared to the rim joist, and brick veneered over the top of everything. AHJ approved the framing but don't know what he was thinking with the gapping holes to let water into the wall cavity.
Most of the attachments I see to brick veneer are with a ledger board and bolts. I know that the "Prescriptive Residential Wood Deck Construction Guide" states that ledger attachments to exterior veneers are prohibited, but I do see many that have the AHJs blessing. :confused:
The biggest problem I see with this one is how to keep the water out of the wall cavity. Do I recommend sealing with silicone, which will fail over time, or flashing, which looks like it could take a lot of imagination?
