Nice tie in. Don't you love the inspectors. I deal with that always.
Being a Building Contractor I have to decide whether to bring in the
County Office or go for it.
sometimes in a rural area I can get away without a permit.
I tell you, I build it stronger than the engineer too.
Looks like you did a very nice job! Not sure why the gas vent is coming
out at an angle?
Anyway, it does not hurt anything and all that is is cosmetic.
Hey, good work.

Thanks, John. When I did get the 'windstorm' inspection last week our
building inspector (not the same guy as the code enforcement officer - go
figure) seemed duly impressed, I think, account I wasn't just some DIY
homeowner cobbling a project like this together.
Called today for the framing inspection. I don't understand how this
part works. 98% of the framing was in place when the guy did the windstorm
inspection. I mean, you have to put all the framing in place so you can put
all the hurricane ties and metal connectors in place. Very little in the
way of structural framing has been added. But, he said to call for the
framing inspection after the roof went on and so, I did. Boxing in the
soffits is about all the 2X work left though I did add a pair of
strongbacks.
