Default Super Joist repair

I made a suggestion to add some extra support the the joists that held up the front porch slab. This is the repair that was made.

The slab was not that big and the house was built in the 40's. So it had been there a while. I just made the suggestion to add supports of some type. NO I have one better for the defect award. I will send it too you.

Here this one is better! "This wire wont stay tight. Just put some screws in it!" This was the 200 amp main breaker.

That is a good electrical one Sean, it is going in Album #6 so it will take awhile for it to come out for judging. Polls have been out to album 2.

Thanks.

I would have no problem what-so-ever singing off on that repair Sean, with one provision. I would have to see the Engineered drawing showing that exact fix.

Great call, it needs at least one more Drywall screw to be up to code.
