FLOOR JOIST to ADDITION SEEM UNSOUND

NACHI - Wed, 06/19/2013 - 19:28
Addition to house had the floor joist 2x8 tied into original joist going to opposite way, with no bracing underneath. Locked like to me the original floor joist were slightly raised. Outside wall had been torn down and garage with bedroom above was added beside the original basement garage. Hope these pictures help. Would this be structurally sound.

Is stucco without expansion/control joints considered a true deficiency?
Or are such joints considered best practice?

Thanks much.

Meth Testing

Does anyone out there know of a good test kit for testing meth residue in residential homes? Also, is there any kind of info that I need to look over before doing a meth test for a client?

Sill Plate

I was recently inspecting a garage of a 40 year old home. The sill plate was visible. It did not appear to be press treated lumber, but it didn't seem to be in bad shape either. Did they use to use pine tar lumber on sill plates against concrete?

It is dishonorable to obey unjust orders. Unlock the cages and stand down.

Cuttler Hammer Breakers

NACHI - Mon, 06/17/2013 - 16:57
Inspected a home today, Cuttler Hammer panel and breakers. Several double taps under flat screw heads. My question is does the Cuttler Hammer breakers that allow 2 wires have the same butterfly fastener as the Square D QO breakers? The breakers are Cuttler Hammer CC. Thanks , Stan
