Structural Engineer Approved!

[John Evans]

Floor structure evaluated by a structural engineer. He approved the existing "supporting columns"! Even the real estate agent questioned his approval.

[Dan Bowers, CMI]

Got 3-4 of his cousins in KC.

Just proves that over 50% of all engineers graduated in the bottom half of their class.

[James E. Braun, CMI]

I do not know what is more surpising is the engineer approved this or the real estate agent questioned it. Sad but true.

[Joe Funderburk, CMI]

I'd like to see some quotes from his report confirming he "approved" that foundation support.

[Bob Elliott]

He was a Jenga Engineer.

They may look funny to you but nobody in Tennessee is gonna put their hound dog at risk by not having a properly supported front porch.

I am trying to obtain a copy of the engineering report, should have it later this week. My report recommended an engineering evaluation due to sagging floor joists, not for the crazy supports. That was an easy call to make. It was obvious that additional structural support is needed, even the seller must have realized the problem, unfortunately his "fix" is not the answer. Of course, what do I know, a home inspector without an engineering degree!
