Are the walls of this garage on a 2020 Champion Skyline modular home installed properly onto the ICF stem wall and sill plate?
The wall where the vehicle door is supposed to go is obviously not cut out properly. My questions pertain to the bottom of the walls where they meet the sill plates. The floor joists were removed, along with part of the center girder along the marriage line. Something doesn’t look proper.
is the foundation made of foam? looks like foam, how did they nail into concrete with the cap nails?
how well if the anchor bolts holding to the foam blocks?
Glad its not my house.
I personally never saw a sill plate stood up on the side with the wall studs half hanging over it. Was that done to gain an extra 4 1/2 inches on the ceiling height
It’s not a sill plate that’s stood up on its side. The manufacturers call them perimeter joists. It’s new to me, as well. It’s unclear to me how the attached sheathing and their connections at the corners are supposed to be enough to keep the perimeter joists from buckling underneath the weight of the garage. I’m going to be recommending a structural engineer evaluate the wall and foundation installation, as they do now appear to align properly. The sill plates are broken in areas due to an apparent off-centered connection. The original anchor bolts were cut off and some other bolts were used to anchor the sill plates down to the stem wall.
