That has to be one of the most poorly constructed buildings I have ever seen. Did you see the way the sheathing just popped right off the trusses? They must have used 6 nails per sheet.

How is it that a building that's fully constructed and sheathed tips over in the wind...? They're long past the point where they should've been adding any bracing to that.

I can tell you what the framing crew looked like and I didn't even see them

 

[MTW]

So do you think those framers were out there the next day, trying to re-assemble it with a Lull? :jester:

this building was about 40 minutes from me

I was actually involved in a job where the HO spent $100k on a front porch addition in that neighorhood

So then you likely know of the contractors involved.

 

[MTW]

Maybe a bunch of electricians did the framing. :whistling2::laughing::jester:

I blame AlGore's global warming.
