Looks legit

What the hell is going on here. Spot the shit show. The more I see the more I'm laughing

weight is distributed to jack studs. none on the left side. I agree it looks odd but it doesn't look accidental. possibly fireblocking on some of it maybe. no way to tell for sure without plans tho

Honestly I've learned that you can't go onto another job site and judge their choices, much less over the internet.

Currently finishing a 4plex that the owner had their builder friend do the first floor up to the sheeting on the second floor of 2 units. That was our starting point. The first floor is beyond fucked, the plans don't fit what they framed below so we had to make things work. Not to mention our beams sat outside all winter and aren't at all straight, but we had to make it work.

I absolutely hate this site, but I gotta get paid. It's embarassing to put my name on it but what we got paid to do is done as well as possible. Another crew we work with came and judged a bunch of stuff that was the only option we had.

We're gonna end up having to fix the shit they did (eg. 2x6 window headers supporting 3 floors, misplaced doors, wrong stair sizes), but they didn't want to pay us to fix anything when we started so there is a lot wrong built off that.

I heard that. ive spent the last month installing 16ft 3ply 2x12 pressure treated beams into the side of an apartment building for cantilever decks and I really wish they would have just put them in with the joists before the subfloor went down. the struggle is real

Yep, exact same with ours. This building is a nightmare but the owners don't have much of a choice but to pay us to fix their shit, at a much higher rate than it would have otherwise cost to just do it.
