    Great video! Small correction on the gas gauge per CPC 318.2, which you cited. Gauge needs to read in 1/10th lb increments per 318.2
  • Your videos are great!! Is blocking always required for underfloor framing? Example would be a 415sf residential addition with some concrete posts in between and girders resting on top. Would this require blocking if the floor joists were 2x6 space at 16 on center? Thank you for your time.

    Have taken the 2015 B1 3 times with no luck. I've been studying non-stop to the point where my knowledge of code and process in the field are adequate but when it comes to the test I'm not fast enough to get through the test. I've been told that it's not what you memorize from the book but how well you know the sections and area's of the book. I honestly don't know how to get faster. I'm in a very small municipality with about 10,000 residents and I'm required to get all residential and commercial ICC certifications. Long story short, I'm very stressed that I will lose my job if I cannot get these certs passed. Do you have any advice, I have no available mentor here at this small city so I'm really just trying to navigate this without a compass.
