    That beam on the lower strap is also too short; look at the gap!
  • Keep up the solid clips. This will help so many inspectors, not to mention the music clip selection is prime 👌! ❤❤ Cheers

    great video , if you could do more of these that would be awesome
  • Why would anyone frame it this way to begin with? It doesn't make any sense....
  • Since they're already there, why not just tie another from the single top plate to the joist, that way, they'll all be tied together. Or leave what you have and runs straps from the single top plate to the double top plate so they'll all be mechanically tied together.

    Isnt the wall assembly connected through sheathing, the beam and another single top plate? The code section doesn't say double top plate it says wall assembly

    Are birdsmouth cuts required? I just built my 10x20 shed without them.

    Can't understand, does not anyone read a detail sheet?
  • Sketchy framing. Nothing stacks and it ain’t tight and right
