Hi Jerry,
Yeah, they are few and far between; but when you get one it sure is sweet. In 16 years I've had a couple of dozen sealed crawlspaces but only one that was that nice over on Lake Sammamish.
ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

Was the homeowner a builder or tradesman? Some will build their own houses better.

We must have stricter building codes up here. A concrete skim coat in the crawlspace is standard practice. When I see dirt, it's an older pre 70's house. Ditto for manufactured trusses. No, there's no work here. Better stay where you are.

The term is "scab" and those aren't 3/8, they look like they're probably 23/32 or 3/4-inch.
The IRC calls them gussets or gusset plates.
They should be 1/2" structural sheathing or heavier.
The ones in the pictures look fine to me.

I'm jealous. All I ever get is dirt and mud. I call it a good day if the dirt is covered with a little bit of plastic.

I stopped doing 'crawls' last summer. Not that we get that many down here and I also charged a high fee for doing them ... but decided with my 'age/health' I simply wasn't going to do them any more.

It was the buyer as he took a spin on the 'creeper'. I wear surgical booties in houses, don't pull off my boots. Divides the crowd if I do!!
