Same two houses as mentioned in the OSHA mandate post. Brand new etc... etc...
One of the houses had an unusual situation with the truss install. I could slip my fingers in between the top chord and the decking. 2x4s had been "scabbed" to the trusses in order to provide a level surface for the roof decking.
I wrote it up as follows:
"Truss framing has been repaired / modified. Trusses are engineered by the manufacturer, and, as such, a written affidavit should be provided stating that the repairs / modifications are acceptable to the manufacturer."
Am I out of bounds on this one?
