B
They're
strict
but,
for
example,
if
we
have
a
a
detail,
for
example,
you'd
end
up
not
using
it
they're
not
going
to
get
after
it's
like
well.
How
come
you
use
this
one
or
you
made
modifications
money,
modifications?
It's
not
a
big
deal
as
long
as
it's
a
industry,
construction
practices.
You
should
be
fine,
now
they'll
get
after
you,
if
you,
if
we
call
out,
for
example,
like
a
two
by
eight
choice,
but
to
use
two
by
sixes.
The
of
course
that's
less
than
the
design.
B
Unless
what
the
drawings
call
out
they'll
get
after
you
on
that
right,
electrical
work,
they
have
their
own
codes
on
that.
You
know
just
as
long
as
you
follow
the
code
training
through
Kansas
Missouri
to
be
third
party
inspectors,
and
one
guy
from
the
city
said.
Really.
You
can
build
a
house
without
any
drawings
or
structural
design,
As
Long,
as
You
Follow
the
code
to
the
to
the
tooth.
You
know
you
can
build
it
just
when
you
deviate
from
it
now.
B
The
only
thing
that
you
require
structural
design
is
foundations
because
it
changes
based
on
soil
conditions
and
if
you
have
like
steel
beams
and
columns
like
that,
that's
when
you
get
to
some
issues
but
overall,
like
for
example,
the
IRC
has
tables
for
floor
joisted.
Spacing
you
know
things
like
that.
Right.
A
B
A
B
We'll
pick
up
most
of
those
comments
that
you
have
they're
going
to
be
looking
for
more
more
than
anything
else,
probably
calculations
make
sure
that
that
we
picked
up
the
special
at
carport
I.
Think
they're
gonna
probably
have
most
comments
on
that
or
anything
else,
but
everything
else
I
think
it's
pretty
straightforward.
A
A
A
A
A
B
Yeah
but
yeah
we're
connecting
together
yeah.
We
we
need
to
call
that
out,
but
so
yeah,
we'll
we'll
call
something
else
on
that,
but
I
sometimes
with
the
city.
Less
is
more.
If
that
makes
sense.
So
like
this
detail,
I
send
you
here
in
the
lower
right
hand,
corner
yeah,
I
would
not
put
that
on
the
drums.
I
would
not
go
that
far
because
if
it's
not
drawing,
you
need
to
follow
it.
Okay,
because
you're
saying
I'm
gonna
navigate
from
the
IRC
and
I'm
gonna.
B
Do
it
this
way
so
and
there's
many
ways
to
do
framing
many
many
ways,
but
if
you
are
telling
the
the
city
I'm
gonna,
do
it
this
way.
This
is
the
only
one
I'm
gonna
do
it
then
they're
gonna
get
after
you,
it's
like
how
come
you
didn't
follow
your
own
instructions,
so
so
I
would
not
put
too
many
details
on
the
drawings
or
specific
details,
because
they're
gonna
go
out
there
and
they
say
okay,
that
you
approved
it
now.
B
Nothing
I,
don't
think,
there's
a
project
that
I
worked
on
in
all
my
years,
where
the
city
approves
it
right
away.
They
are
going
to
have
some
comments,
but
I
would
just
start
out
with
you
know
what
here's
here's,
the
house
we'll
provide
more
information
than
than
your
typical
house,
because
this
is
a
custom-made
house,
but
I
want
to
go
above
and
beyond
any
other
stuff.
Yeah
just
make
it
because
you
guys,
you
guys
know
what
you're
going
to
build
it
and
how
you're
going
to
build
it.
Yeah
yeah!
So.
B
Wouldn't
not
at
this
stage.
Okay,
if,
if
he
has
more
information,
we
can
I
think
go
back
to
you.
It's
like,
okay,
let's,
let's
provide
with
the
this,
is
gonna,
be
the
module,
but
I.
Don't
think
we
need
to
we'll
just
have
to
show
them
that
we're
connected,
because
my
calculator
is
going
to
show
that
the
studs
are
spaced
at
what
is
it
still
16
inches
on
Center?
It's
a
standard
industry
practice.
Nothing
unusual
about
that.
If
anything,
it's
going
to
be
stronger
than
right.
B
A
B
B
A
B
I
think
the
city
will
look
that
closely
on
the
detail.
This
is
more
for
the
foundation
as
long
as
you
call
it
the
numbers
or
what
the
foundation
is
we'll
call
out
for.
You
know
like
two
by
six
wall,
but
that's
all
they're
going
to
look
for.
They
won't
look
for
if
we
call
out,
because
in
our
notes
our
general
notes,
we
call
out
for
that
type
of
cheating,
that's
going
to
be
on
there,
so
that.
B
C
D
A
B
This
is
acceptable.
What
we
look
for
and
what
this
is
going
to
look
for
in
the
remark
calculations
is
what
we
call
the
bearing
of
the
footing.
So
when
you
have
a
load,
you
have
to
have
a
certain
square
footage
of
concrete
to
resist
the
the
soil.
Well,
the
soil
has
to
resist
to
so
much
square
footage.
B
A
B
C
B
E
B
B
A
B
A
A
B
B
A
C
C
A
A
B
A
A
B
D
C
D
B
A
B
C
A
B
B
Numbers
it
helps
because,
like
like
this
detail
that
you
that
I
send
you
yeah
doesn't
have
the
header
over
the
door,
but
we
do
lots
of
Home
Inspections
here
in
town,
I
mean
thousands
a
year
and
we
sold
kinds
of
things.
We
see
all
kinds
of
things,
and
so
sometimes
you
get
like
hairline
cracks
above
these
weak
spots,
so
it
just
stiffens.
C
A
C
B
B
A
B
A
B
A
A
B
B
C
C
D
C
B
B
B
A
D
A
B
E
D
B
D
D
C
A
C
E
D
B
Yeah
with
my
experience
only
when
Jack
start
is
needed,
unless
the
header
is
a
large
span
and
it's
not
about
the
the
Jackson
is
how
much
bearing
we
need
to
have
on
each
end.
So
sometimes,
if
you
have
a
a
12
foot
span,
you
want
more
bearing
underneath
each
end,
because
you
don't
want
to
try
to
prevent
the
rotation
when
the
steam
starts
to
flexion.
B
D
A
B
A
C
B
B
Well,
they'll
just
make
sure
that
you
have
juxtons
now
if
we
call
out
two
Jack
studs
and
we
show
that
on
the
drawings
and
then
you
have
one
they're
gonna
say:
oh
yeah.
Why
did
why
do
you
deviate
from
the
drawings
but
again
I
think
the
code
requires
just
only
one:
juxtap
I
will
double
check
with
the
codes,
but
I
don't
think
I
haven't
seen
more
than
one.
Unless
again,
if
it's
like
a
long
spam.
A
A
C
A
A
A
B
A
C
B
Follow
the
code
right
they're
there
to
implement
the
code,
so
let's
say:
okay,
yeah
four
four
is
like
20
foot
wide
building.
You
do
need
the
two
juxtapes
and
they
go
there
and
you
only
have
one,
even
though
we're
not
trying
to
drawing
because
they're
going
to
say
you
do
not
follow
the
code,
you
need
to
add
more
Jack
studs,
that's
where
they
come
in
all
right
now,
if
it's
something
specific
where
we
call
out
on
our
drawings,
let's
say
for
a
12
foot:
white
building.
B
B
D
D
A
C
B
D
B
D
B
Sometimes
in
most
cases,
I,
don't
and
I
haven't
had
any
pushback
from
the
city
on
that
now,
if
you
have
a
2
by
12
and
you
use
a
dress
hanger,
that
is
good
for
two
by
four
two
by
six
and
I'll
call
you
out
on
it.
We
can
certainly
call
it
out
if
you
want
us
to
I,
have
no
problem
with
that
yeah,
it's
just
just
I
just
to
cook
and
do
it
so
we'll
call.
B
B
B
A
C
A
A
B
B
C
B
A
B
A
B
D
A
C
B
A
A
B
This
is
a
standard,
carport
yeah.
This
is
a
standard
of
the.
What
we
call
a
poor
frame
so
in
opening
around
a
garage
is
very
weak,
because
you
don't
have
much
sheer
resistance
in
the
the
walls
of
each
side
of
the
opening,
okay,
so
so
per
coat.
You
have
to
have
that
four
garages
now
carports
I'm,
not
sure
if
the
city
is
going
to
come
back
and
make
us
do
something
similar.
Now
this
is
a
standard
IRC
detail
that
we
just
put
in
our
drawing
right.
B
D
B
That's
that's
my
recommendation
because,
because
it's
it's,
it
can
get
very
complicated,
not
design
wise,
but
construction
wise.
It
can
get
complicated
because
we
have
to
tie
this
back
down
to
the
peers.
Somehow,
because
this
thing
is
going
to
go,
go
with
this
back
and
forth
now
you
have
the
hassle,
resist
it
on
one
side
right.
So
it's
going
to
lean
this
way
in
that
way
around
the
opening.
B
A
B
D
B
A
A
A
B
B
A
A
A
A
B
C
C
A
B
A
C
A
B
B
A
B
B
B
C
D
B
B
A
B
B
A
A
C
A
B
B
I
guess
what
fire
code
are
you
concerned
about
what
what
fire
issues
are
you
concerned
about?
There's
no
separation,
that's
required!
This
is
a
single
unit
or
single
family
unit.
Okay,
it's
anytime!
You
have
like
a
duplex,
whether
it's
vertical
duplex
or
horizontal
duplex.
That's
when
you
need
the
fire
separation,
okay,
and
even
with
that,
you
have
to
use
like
a
fire
rated
chipboard,
but
I,
don't
think
it's
required.
B
Okay
or
I.
Don't
think
you
have
to
yeah
it's
a
single
family.
I,
don't
think
it's
required.
Okay,
I!
Don't
think
it's
gonna
be
an
issue,
because
this
is
going
to
be
done
after
the
city
leaves
anyway
they
won't.
They
won't
call
out,
even
if
they
see
they
don't
think
they
called
out
people
finish
their
houses
in
different
materials.
All
the
time.
A
A
B
A
A
A
D
A
A
C
A
B
A
A
B
A
C
B
You
have
enough
details
to
instructions.
Basically,
if
you
have,
you
can
give
that
your
customers
and
how
to
build
it
from
social
perspective.
We
don't
show
that
many
details,
like
you,
have
a
bit
more
architectural
details
per
the
the
code
and
per
the
city.
Didn't
they
do
not
require
architectural
drawings.
They
always
like
to
see
them,
but
they
don't
sell
requirement
when
it
comes
to
commercial
properties.
You
do
need
architectural
drawings,
but
essentially
you
don't.
B
It's
like
lawyers
that
always
tell
you
don't
provide
more
information
with
when
that's
just
answer
the
question:
don't
provide
additional
information,
so
I
yeah
I
would
I
would
just
leave
that
and
you
know
the
first
time
we
we
submit
this
I
think
we're
going
to
learn
things
from
the
city
I'm
doing
this
building
renovation,
Cass,
City,
Missouri
and
I
worked
with
our
architect.
He's
been
doing
this
for
about
35
years,
and
the
city
came
up
with
some
things
that
he
never
heard
about.
It's
like
wow.
This
is
all
new
to
me.
B
I've
been
doing
this
for
30
years
and
they're
asking
me
to
do
more
than
usual.
It's
just
the
nature
of
this
job.
So
he
says
you
know:
I'll
apply
this
for
future
jobs,
so
so
the
first
time
around
I
think
it's
it's
going
to
be.
We'll
have
some
comments,
we'll
adjust
our
drawings,
we'll
pick
things
up,
but
then
we'll
moving.
C
C
A
A
A
A
A
D
A
B
B
C
B
My
director
is
ready
for
my
comments.
I
talked
to
her
Friday
and
I
didn't
say
anything
because
I
want
to
we're
gonna.
Have
this
call
so
I
will
mark
up
my
drawings
today
and
tomorrow
morning,
I
said
until
tomorrow,
and
then
I
think
bye
well,
hopefully
by
Wednesday
she'll.
Have
that
done?
It's
not
really.
