   This is on a house being framed down the road from me. I don't know if anything is pulling the other end but there is a floor above it.

   How long has that been framed? looks like it's been out in the weather for awhile.

   What's piled on top of all those 2by?

   Got a pic with a little more of the building?

   It has not been out in the weather that long, about 3 weeks when the pics were taken. There are 3 house being framed at the same time, the one with the header pic is the one all the way to the right. Here are a few more pics.

   Don't worry about that extra jack hanging a little bit off the foundation. The beam is carrying very little weight because the wall is a gable wall. A single jack would be sufficient.

   In img 0411, I'm definitely not happy with the exposed rebar sticking out of the slab.  I doesn't look broken either, it just looks like sloppy work.

   Put a couple of metal simpson plates on it and it will be ten times stronger than connections that just use nails.

   I think they have the house sheathed already.

   The sheathing holds it from spreading any more on the outside. The simpson holds it on the inside.

   That looked to be a failed temporary power pole. It doesn't look tall enough to me. That is some real sloppy work. I've done limited framing myself, never a whole house, but it isn't rocket surgery.

   What is sloppy about the temp power pole?Also, you said the meter base was failed? It looks like there is a meter installed. Wouldn't this mean that it passed inspection?

   That is about the worst work I've seen in awhile.  My 12 year old girls do better than that.   I would not buy a dog house with that framing.    Obviously no pride or skill there.

   That's my 2 cents Canadian

   Have a good day
