esch Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 The house was re-roofed 3-6 weeks ago and when decking was replaced they used OSB and no H-clips between rafters (2' centers) Also found this rafter patch, just no sure what its for/from.

Brandon Whitmore Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 You would have to take note of the size of the sheathing to determine whether edge support/ H clips were required. Some may argue, but replacing sheathing is a structural modification that should probably have had permits pulled. That framing looks like crap.

The orginal roof sheathing was CD the replacement was OSB, H-clips were used on original, so I will note it as missing H clips =) I can also push on the osb and make it flex with minimal effort (20 pounds force?)

Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
