Hey Folks (and hopefully Randy will chime in), I ran into this beam in a home built in 2009. It appears this beam is manufactured due to the clean appearance where the glue comes to the edges of the 2X4s, but I’ve never really seen one like this. (Other beams in home are laminated, as I would expect.)
What do you guy say? Is this something other inspectors run into regularly in different regions?
Thanks!
