A client has contacted me about poor workmanship by a contractor. He's adding a small room to the rear wall of his house with the only opening leading to the rear porch. It will become a bathroom for folks using the pool nearby.
This contractor used a framing nailer to attach a wood stud wall to the brick veneer. I'll be advising my client to put the contract on hold while I find a code cite that says a structural wall has to connect to a structural wall and brick veneer won't do. That will help his defense if the contractor goes after him for the balance of the contract.
I don't even know which section to begin looking. Anyone?
