Hello,
Perhaps this is not the correct forum for this but here goes.I subbed out the framing of a 400sf deck ordered the materials,and made the mistake if leaving the job unsupervised.The materials were delivered (2x10 Pt,6x6 posts) and the framer who I have used on a few occasions (with good results) went to work.
Bottom line is when I returned ten days after the framing jobs completed I noticed a few issues.
1 Some of the double and triple joists were chiselled away so they could all sit on the hangers uniformly.
2 Where the doubles and triples made contact with the tops of the posts there were PT shims in place because again the 2x10 were not making proper contact with the post.
The framer told me that there was such a difference in the depth of the material from 9 1/4" to 9 1/2"(which I verified) that this was the only way he could make it work.Now the Pt has begun to cup and the outer rim has almost pulled away from the structure.Client is flipping out.
The framer has laid the blame on the poor quality of the PT and the supplier is saying nothing except this is to be expected with PT.Can anyone point me in the direction that can get the issue resolved.
I have a tendency to side with the framer but I could be wrong,but i think also the material if it was such junk should not have been used in the first place.
