PLANSAHEAD Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Hi all, Tony here. I am looking for experienced builders/designers opinions on a builders recent reframing of openings in a house renovation I designed. I am very unhappy with what I see. This is a waterfront home in Connecticut, design wind speed of 110 mph with a large open plan and lots of glass. Without influencing the replies does anyone see anything wrong with these openings and/or reframing/closure of existing openings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robdyck Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Perhaps you might expand on what you're unhappy with... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DG1949 Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 The apparent absence of wall bracing in the original construction. Other than that, pretty standard stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 What is the outside of the wall currently. Are they installing plywood or some shear panel over the horizontal sheathing? If not, I would provide either let in bracing or diagonal blocking with cst strapping continuous plate to plate to establish some actual useful bracing. Before that, I would call my engineer.
