I’m not trying to diy a fix for this. I just want some help understanding how bad this is and potentially how long it will set us back

 

Shame you caught it so late it your build. Inspector should have caught it at the ‘leap inspection’. Often called the 3.50 inspection cause it falls between the 3rd and 4th framing inspection. Pronounced tree fiddy by framing crews.

 

So it’s really bad? 😭

 

Too late now, the only option is to pad out the wall.

 

What does that mean? Please and thank you 🙏🏾

 

Probably can be fixed but depends on many factors, timely response by the engineer, and repair persons.

Keep professionals around.

Good luck.

An engineer will come up with a solution for you. Will definitely cost more than $350.00....

Go in peace.

Wow....did you pay the framers already?

 

It’s not a custom build and I’m the buyer. I’m just trying to make heads or tails of this and figure out what the heck to do.

 

It means you build a whole another wall top and bottom so it planes out on that corner.
How in the world could someone frame that and miss it?

Floor trusses are engineered. A fix can be found.

Find the outfit that supplied the trusses and talk to them.

The floor package paperwork will have the info.

thats what my builder is doing, consulting the engineers. I just need some kinda way to save this because we are between a rock and a hard place 😢

 

It could be rocked and considered a "feature"....but resale might be difficult.

Those shiny metal plates are designed to be present. You can't "cut" anything......it was located incorrectly. All kidding aside, I feel bad for you.

Get a lawyer

 

I honestly don’t know what to do at this point. Can’t back out of the house (no where to go) and really don’t know if I can afford a lawyer.
