everybody blames the plumbers; until you can't take a dump!

[smeag1972]

they should, but rarely do provide a 6" wall for 3 or 4 inch pipe.

[TheMakyato]

they allways find things that are not right

[tritty84]

stud either side easy

@HomeEnergyNow Okaaay, but what does any of that have to do with the vid?

The inspector in the vid is talking crazy. All that is needed for this to pass is a stud under the joist to the right of the pipe. Now if the joist & studs lined up to begin with there would be no problem at all. But now it's going to cost time & money to go back and fix it. Should have just lined them up, easy peasy.

@HomeEnergyNow Dude, do you have some kind of phobia against putting a joist over a stud or something...wtf? It's just easier, quicker and also cheaper in the long run if you got to put some mechanicals in. I mean I don't get it, why would you go through the trouble not to line them up, when it happens automatically during lay out?

If you want to build like that, then go right ahead.

-What's your real profession, because you can't be a tradesman.

You are a non-strucural engineer evaluating the engineering/construction of a structure.....sound right to anybody? Give somebody a codes book all of a sudden they have an engineering degree in their own head. Our concrete companies in town were testing at 10% required strength, we have been failed for not having the word "receptacle" on the circuit box for a downstairs bathroom, on the same house the concrete was tested at a really sad PSI strength, inspectors check that? Nope, got the label!

[HomeEnergyNow]

......and had to drive up the cost of the home to provide that lesser product. Thanks, govt. employee feild, thanks.

[HomeEnergyNow]

We used to run our anchor bolts on 3' centers. Inspector says, "they have to be w/in a foot of any joint on the bottom plate", so we switch to 6' centers like code requires and put one w/in one foot of any joint in the bottom plate. If a tornado came, which would you prefer? That is why inpectors for the most part simply drive up the cost of construction and justify their work only to themselves and not the home buyer. We basically made our homes weaker to satisfy our 30k/year public employee

Thats where failed builders usually end up. Our framing inspector is a failed plumber. You don't run ducts in the attic on a good home so ceiling joist and studs lining up is a waste. Now if you are talking basement walls/first floor of a two story, that is different. But this isn't either. Lay a wall out save time and maybe a stud., or just stack it to look pretty? Save time/money laying them out for boxing, or make them look pretty?I don't care what inspectors think looks good, doesnt matter.

[bruno2260]

@HomeEnergyNow You're calling me a "rookie"...really? I've been a builder for 27yrs, and an inspector for 7.

I've built countless homes, apts. & hotels.

-Now you say "time is money", isn't it faster to lay it out right once, rather than having 2 different lay outs on the same wall? Also that crap is unprofessional & catches the inspectors eye. So then he'll start nitpicking, costing you more time & money.

And many larger bldgs. have more than 1 zone, so yea, runs will go though walls.

[HomeEnergyNow]

@bruno2260 Some houses are trussed, that is my point. What are you going to do with your heat run? Run it from the basement to the attic? They don't run ducts into attics in well built homes....sorry you didn't know that. The only ducts that would go up top floor walls are returns that end before the top plates......so why would the joist be in the way again? Ducts in attics......stupid. If you want to say it is standard, what does tha make you? Time is money, stack things that matter rookie.
