Send me pictures of nasty-looking notches and drilled holes in floor joists and wall studs that were deemed defects, and I’ll try to put them in an up-coming instructional/training video at www.nachi.tv. Your name shall appear at the ending credits of the video if your picture is used.
Thank you.
Heres a picture of a band/rim joist being cut to accomadate the tub piping.
How about New floor joists nailed to saturated, wood rotted floor joists, you want them too?
No! No!
Why plumbers shouldn’t be allowed to **OWN **Sawzalls!
If they own 'em, they’ll use 'em!!!
That picture showed 2 joists fully cut for a 1.5 -2 inch pipe. Plumber obviously only owned one tool and it wasn’t a 90 degree angle drill!
Saw one 18 months ago in a new house construction for an aquaintance who works the contractors section at local building supplies dealer. I was installing an HRV system:
For 3" drain for a water closet, they cut out 3 joists. Phoned owner and told him to call the local AHJ to get someone out asap before the plumber got any farther. The bad joke of it was: The plumber is a part timer…his regular job…a butcher!!! I swear…the truth!!!
Thanks guys.
Use these if you can. I guess the light was so everyone could see their fine workmanship. It didn’t work.

How bout deck with no ledger board and joists attached with only 2 “TICOs” into 1/2" cedar siding?
How bout an exterior non GFCI outlet with a bird house built over it to protect it, when you plug in the lamp cord it powers the flood light by way of the interior switch box nailed to the wall? P.S. This was a RE agents home who told me everything was perfect and ready to inspect.
