The rod doesnt hold the weight . The slats go into a routed part of the 1x4 where they go into, that holds a lot of the wright and the rods help keep the slat from bending and keeps the structural integrity of the ladder. I have that same ladder in my garage 16 years and only issue is you have to maintain it by lubing hinges and tightening down hardware.

Yes but drain tile is the best way to make sure the water is going to get to your sump crock/pump if the soil around your foundation gets saturated. The best way for drain tile to function is to have drain tile on the outside when the construction of the foundation occurs, but also on the inside in case the exterior drain tile fails for whatever reason. Lots of times we find just a crock & pump with no drain tile in very old houses just to manage ground water. Those houses also sometimes have dirt floors in the basement.

I'll try and timestamp just some of the falseholds and incorrect information here... 1:44 - we can sell them because arc-faults burn down houses not just because it's in a book 3:00 - arc faults can occur on the "hot" or "neutral" side of a circuit. An AFCI needs to measure the differences and changes between in both sides of the circuit. It doesn't only protect the "neutral wire" 3:23 - this could have occurred if the screw went into a "hot" wire. A traditional surge breaker will no trip as there isn't an overload in current, only an arc being created. 3:50 - the odds of any electrical wire burning a house down are reasonable enough for us to have codes 4:08 - again, any current carrying conductor 5:05 - "need a new breaker" - ergh not if you've damaged a wire 5:18 - "you don't have to have these things" - by code since 2002, there are requirements for new builds and remodels 5:25 - if you screw into a hot wire, that doesn't automatically create an overcurrent situation that a regular breaker will trip on. Normally you'd have to short for that to happen (which does require a neutral or ground) 5:35 - arc faults protect the entire circuit 7:36 - that's a dual function breaker which also provide ground-fault protection

@Inspct123Ай бұрын
Just FYI I believe the metal shims need to be at least tack welded together so that during expansion and contraction and possible wind loading movement they do not displace. I know this is a requirement for shims at metal beams and they also need to be welded to the beam to prevent displacement, a condition that is not possible with a wood beam. So not as simple as just stacking metal shims, especially with that size void. I would recommend following the engineer's recommendation.

It is normal to put wood under the carrying beam. The whole house is made of wood, now all the sudden wood isn't strong enough to hold up wood
@hshpropertyinspectionmattj351829 күн бұрын
True point👍🏼 Generally, the wood being used in the rest of the house has load dispersed over many pieces of wood, whereas support for a main beam has the entire load of the home on it and that load is distributed to only three or four spots…the beam pocket being one of them.

I don’t think this is true. Passive systems do not remove as much radon as active systems. That is true. But - to say they do not work is not correct. Furthermore, “all you have to do is install that $200 fan” is also not true: active systems need to be pressurized and sealed and passive systems may be. Several passive systems come off the sump pum, and often do not have a clear window and sealed system (although some of the slab ones will). I get what you’re trying to say here (that it’s way better to install an active system, and the setup for a new construction passive converting to active is WAY easier than installing net new) - but your video is misleading, just installing a fan may not correct the problem - and not having the fan does not mean you have a problem. Get an air test and then develop a game plane from there.

Having a load bearing beam floating on metal shims probably not a best practice when considering seismic activity. Any lateral movement or sway could cause one of the shims to slide or be squirted/pressed out of position. That would probably go unnoticed and then the beam would not be supported vertically on that end. Whatever that spacer material is going to be should be mechanically fastened. Disclaimer, I have no idea what I’m saying.

So code is the least acceptable level of quality. My house was built to code in 1962. Acceptable roof sheathing was apparently 3/8 inch ply. Today, every step I take on that portion of the roof feels like a sponge and I might go through. A section which was repaired more recently feels solid with 5/8 ply, current code. To re-sheath with 3/4 inch ply, for my peace of mind is about 10% more. I will take peace of mind for 10% any day.

Wood is likely the better way to go. Looks like it might be next to a cold exterior wall with a real possibility of condensation forming on the steel plate (good conductor of cold outside temperature) and associated rust problems. Your concern would be better directed to size of the wood support shim. The bearing stress on bottom of the beam above (compression area provided by the shim) will very likely control the strength of this system and associated settling of the beam and house. As the beam end is loaded it begins to crush in compression at the bearing points and the whole house will settle as the beam does. Take a look at some heavily loaded beam and take a few measurements, might be surprised. Retired Structural Engineer
