The Wall of SHAME!

Double doors needed a piece in the middle. I guess the trimmers thought the painter could make it look nice, and the painter didn't think at all 🙄
I'll try to put lipstick on this pig with some more sanding and fill, but it just makes me shake my head.
This is a 5k sqft custom in a high end neighborhood - pretty close to the top end of homes in this city.
But the owner is using his normal spec home subs. Pay peanuts, get monkeys I suppose.
Picture a DIYer posted . Over in other forum. Some quality workmanship, how would this even past inspection? Was professional buildt.

It can pass. All depends on the joist specs and the joist load in that area.

thankyou Meta .Has been so long that i had to pad out an' I beam' that have forgotten peramiters .i did notice that the material used to pad out out webbing seemed thinner then the depth of 'I beam' that would seem off . Also it looks like the pads are cut a bit loose ,that seems just sloppy .

The other note here is it looks like it is a single upper top plate with the window above the lower side of joists. That IS garbage.

won't the hangers need to be top fastened. Way it is now the only nail that is holding much is the top one.
That would be the call around here. Always top flange hangers with TJ's.

Who would design/install a window with the top of the glass higher than the bottom of the joists? That will take some creative sheetrock work to do the ceiling.
Little fiddling around , but would not really be that hard. Whoever built the house was not a very good builder if the rest of the house is anything like this.
I was doing doors/base/case/crown for a builder that rhymes with BR Thornton for a bit early in my career. Their philosophy was that anything less than 1/4" was the painters problem. They also expected me to hang/case 3-2 doors per hour.
Wow. Hang and case openings in 15 minutes or less? Do those tend to be steel or wood framing?

This was 25ish years ago. I was green. Wood framing, cheap prehung hollow core doors. Case 1 side, slam it into opening, nail it off with casing, case other side. Scatter busted shims around to make super think you were actually using shims.
Learned a lot in the couple months I worked for that company.
Found better mentors to work with.
