So, I went a few months with no updates... and now we get two in just a few days. These pictures were from my inspection today. The MLS and Zillow listed one of the amenities as "extra storage space in the attic".... The home owner had cut out the web members of SIX CONSECUTIVE trusses.... He said that he heard the roof creaking so he desided to shore it up a bit.... Well, the damage was already done by that point. My comment in the report was pretty simple: " Several trusses have been cut to facilitate extra storage. FBCR 802 states "Truss members shall not be cut, notched, drilled, spliced or otherwise altered in any way without the approval of a registered design professional." Have truss engineer design a repair. " Listed as: "Major" for cost of repairs and, more importantly, compromising the structural integrity of the roof system.

Holy Cow! 2016 has been a Whirlwind! It has been several months since I have posted an update. We have been so busy here at PiTi that I just have not had the time. Since my last update, We have completed over 100 inspections. The range and complexity of the homes have spanned from 11,000 sqft mansions to humble 900 sqft cottages. New construction to turn of the century. To quote Brad Pitt....Cuzzin, bizness is a boomin'! Here are some of the pictures that I think you will find interesting. Thank you for stopping by!
