[QUOTE="rockcity, post: 1733438, member: 483"] I see all kinds of questionable things going on... looks like a poor attempt at a girder that is cantilevered with joists hanging from them. As Shawn said, that’s not correct. [ATTACH=full]306358[/ATTACH] not sure what their idea was at this attempt at a double 2x8? girder? Also, looks like the girder is hanging off of the band joist? And floor joists are hanging from the girder? The band joist hanger supporting the girder is incorrect; the hanger is supposed to support the joist from the girder. [ATTACH=full]306359[/ATTACH] not sure what’s going on here with what looks to be scabbed together band joists? Also, not sure what kind of hangers exist on this band joist to the girder? Again, girder doesn’t look adequate or constructed correctly. No blocking between joists. and, the obvious notches in knee braces. I’d be interested in seeing the rest of the deck. I’d damn near bet my buggy that there is zero flashing and the ledger board is screwed through the siding/brick, most likely with less than adequate screws and no tension ties. [/QUOTE]
