What's Your Call?

Why does one rafter have a single clip and the other rafter have two?

a. The International Residential Code (IRC) requires rafters within 4 feet of an exterior corner to be double-clipped at exterior walls (against uplift).

b. The carpenter is not finished installing clips.

c. The International Residential Code (IRC) requires rafters with electrical components connected to be double-clipped at exterior walls (for fire safety reasons).

d. The International Residential Code (IRC) requires every other rafter to be double-clipped at exterior walls.
