Bump

Good job again, Paul

14

Were you expecting a cross examine?:cool:

In my experience, a pitch pocket would more likely on a hot tar roof or flat roof. They are used for all kinds of penetrations.

15

Cross examination from you? No, not at all.:cool:

I agree with pitch pocket for a hot tar or built up roof but Carson Dunlap and Internachi say plumbing stack. I just bumped this so the winner comes forward and I can rest until next week.

16

Thanks Paul and interNACHI, again!

The sequencer question had me thinking…now you can go for your rest:)

Congratulations Marcel Gratton on a good job. :slight_smile:

Congats Marcel!

Which does not make it the right answer. Same for notching non bearing studs, google it and you will find 60%. As it’s non bearing who cares :slight_smile:

There are many wrong answers in the CD and internachi exam banks, why not take the opportunity to correct them?

I really thought I won, but!
