structural engineer here (5 years DIY including building stud
walls and boats) -Are you not concerned that the shoddy jobs
done on some of this work (overcuts, exposed nails, split wood)
would indicate shoddy work elsewhere? Is it not extremely
serious if even one of these pics comes from a structural
element, or if this has been done to a hidden structural
element? I have less experience but would be ashamed if I had
done this work. I would ask for a lot of this to be done again.
[–]intrepidse17 1 point2 points ago   The shoddy jobs could be
indicative of shoddy jobs done elsewhere, but they could also
just be newbies on the framing crew given a job that if they
messed up wouldn't hurt anyone since its not structural, haha. I
am not defending the framer, merely stating that from what I can
tell, we aren't in "oh god you are gonna die, get a lawyer and a
bounty hunter" territory at this
