Septic Tank Install - Setting the Tanks

    One by four let-in brace put in for plumb and line. Not required. Exterior hurricane clips may not be required per engineer requirements, see plan. Pony wall in attic may not be load bearing but for dividing space see plan for framing notes.

    The fireplace - "oversight" by the installers. I call it laziness. It's not like they didn't do anything to screw the bottom too. The problem is when you go to these "fireplace" distributors, they rarely have a crew that works directly for them and will sub out the "install" to a handyman who most likely doesn't even know what the IRC is.

    We leave the gas fireplaces loose on the base so we can adjust its position slightly after gyprock. As well that securing tab is used to secure the fireplace to the pallet in the warehouse/transportating. As well some brands when fixed down completely tend to rattle when the fan activates.

    Just saying, those are not ramset. Those are sill anchors. Epoxy threaded rods. Usually either Simpson XP or Hilti. Ramset is concrete nailing (with gun). Pass it on.

    @SomeDumUsrName 2 роки тому

    No. Those bolts are NOT called Ramsets. They're called anchor bolts. Specifically, in that application, likely J-bolts. Ramsets are tools used to fire .22 caliber shells called shots and those shots drive what are called pins.

    9:00 The big No No is whoever designed that house. It has nothing with the plumber The wall should have been 2x6. The rack support (which that wall is not) should have never crossed a plumbing run. The layout is bonkers. The plumber literally did exactly what he was suppose to do. Your designer and framer are to fault. Any framer worth their salt would have adjusted well before plumbing. This video is garbage

    I found mistakes, showed the inspectors, and they just laughed. I showed them a truss in my house that has 2500 lbs hanging from 60 teeth of gusset nail plates, from a single 2x4! And it passed. I called the engineer who designed the truss and said the software showed that it passed. I don't care what software that is, it's wrong. You do not hang 2500 lbs from a single 2x4 stud in tension. Ever! Out here, the inspectors pockets are lined by the builders.

    lol 3:23 is the difference between a real builder with experience vs. someone with a piece of paper and there name written on it. You may call it a little mistake, but to call an embedded anchor bolt a ramset shows a clear lack of true understanding of how things are built and whats really going on.

    That anchor bolt is not a Ramset it's an anchor bolt. A Ramset is a brand name tool used to shoot pins/nails into concrete or steel. Ramset pins are a nail with a washer shot into the concrete with a Ramset tool to fix the plate to the concrete in most states you can do this only with partition walls. Shear, and perimeter walls require anchor bolts in every state. Some states also require 3" x 3" plate washers, slotted plate washers require a round washer unless using a Titen concrete screw. Plate washers must be centered within sill plate and cannot be hanging over. Anchor bolts can not be closer than 1" from the edge of the sill or sole plates, and have to be between 4" to 12" from the end of any plate or split in any plate, and a minimum of two ABs per single length of plate. Distance between ABs is determined by the Engineer for specific loads. Make sure you read your plans. If you are missing ABs no problem just drill and use all thread and epoxy, or Titen HD concrete bolts. Confirm with your State, County, City. Most of what I stated is from the strongest codes in the country; Los Angeles, and this is a tough as it gets. Unless you get an ass for an Inspector like in Anaheim CA and he calls you on an 1/8", like one did after I signed off on a sill plate inspection as a Deputy Inspector (also called a "Special Inspector").
