In Florida, they present the draft of the incoming Code 6 months ahead of the Code being effective.

Another double whammy. 0.113" x 2 3/8" nails used with 19/32" sheathing. OSB used with Boral high profile tiles.

They do use the correct diameter nails occasionally around here. Too bad they used the wrong roof sheathing.
Did they manage to find the truss with at least one nail in that area?
Not sure what your question is.
Today’s inspection was an oddball for this neighborhood (most of them were correct). I think 13 or 14 of the currently holding at 17 out of over 300 inspections in 7 counties in SWFL where correct roof sheathing and fasteners have been documented on new construction homes are located in this neighborhood. There is a neighborhood in Sarasota County where every home I’ve inspected (and reportedly every home in the neighborhood) has the wrong roof sheathing installed.
I was just wondering in any of their nails actually hit the truss in this area. You can use all the right materials but if the fasteners are located wrong, what does it matter? Hopefully they found the line eventually. I see three strikes in your pic, lol.

Oh have pics of some doosies. Hundreds maybe thousands of sheathing fasteners missed in one attic. Some of them dozens in a row.

Mi español no es muy bueno
Ok, that’s a lie. I don’t speak “Mexican” and yes, there’s a significant difference from Spanish Spanish and Mexican Spanish. Since I learned my Spanish in Honduras, I have trouble keeping up. Most of the roofers are Mexicans. I can kinda understand it and they can kinda understand me but it’s definitely different.
Since I’m a good mimic, when I speak Spanish in Honduras people assume I’m native and think I’m a Turk. I don’t have an American accent because I learned Spanish by hearing it and copying what they were saying. There are seven Families that essentially own Honduras, they are called Turks and looks like ordinary white people to me. I don’t know if any of them actually come from Turkey, I don’t think they do. They look Caucasian, like Iranians.

Nice, they used the correct diameter nails for the roof sheathing, and the roof sheathing was the correct thickness…
Unfortunately, they used OSB instead of plywood.

I see OSB all the time around here for tile roofs, and probably 50% of tile roofs I see on brand new homes. I dont think its a requirement to use plywood in all counties.

I see OSB all the time too and call it out almost weekly.
That’s not what the Engineers that I’ve spoken with have told me. Also DBRP Product Approvals going back to 2015-16 that I’ve seen, I’ve never seen one approve OSB for tile.
I have seen one engineered document (provided by a pulte paid liar) was approved for Maine. The FRSA/TRI Manual finally added plywood to their 6th Edition manual
