Failed inspection!
Bummer! Failed inspection! He named 3 things(unfortunetly I wasn't there)
(1) no over lap on the corners of the top plate ( You can't over lap it because you have a parallel wall meeting a angled wall so I used 3x6 tie plates which he couldn't see because they're sandwiched between 2x4's)
(2) couldn't see my 4' o.c. augers on the east side( this was supposed to be a framing inspection, the augers were inspected in the foundation inspection and on the eastside they were covered by the flooring.)
(3) Didn't use H2x5d straps on plate to rafters( my fault here as I went by a different set of blue prints that had the roofing details and they just used a straight strap going up the wall stud into the top plate and then into the rafters.)
However after a quick trip to the Building Dept. one of the ladies called him up(he had went home already) and he gave the OK to go and felt the roof as I was worried as we have a hurricane in the Atlantic as of now. So Monday I hope to have a word with him and at least straighten out the first two things.
