If you need to setup a GoFundMe for glasses and tape measures, just kindly let us know. ;)

Ha, I didn't do a depth study but walls do appear to have some evidence of stagger. Reason I was not looking close is it super does NOT matter! It won't change anything but stud to stud panel deflection in wind, not shear performance.

Anyway, I saw the error, I mentioned, no one cares, roger that! I see many things on that structure, BUT, as I said........just enjoy.....lol

Yeah, it's all LOL now that you are wrong...

For someone who has been on this forum for a month, you sure have an uncanny way to rub folks the wrong way. There are some very intelligent and experienced people here that don't need a P.E. behind their name to substantiate their worth to the rest of the members here.

Carry on and I'm out of this one. OP, I hope you got/ will get good input on where to put the blocking.

Oh, I'm not wrong, but I hope you feel better. I call things as I SEE them, because if if I even ask " what is your design criteria", people don't even know what that means. It becomes hard to ignore. I'm currently working on a cat III hurricane building. I'm also aware of countless buildings that dropped in OK this year due to the DIY/lack of code enforcement matter.

Spend some time looking around. What is that saying? "Open your mouth and remove all doubt"
If you can't tell my now, I AM THE GUY that ends up on the job to deal with the contractors that tell me how to build it. I can work with people to a point. I'm programmed to see the issues. I'm not worried about 'saying something', or who I offend. It's typically the top brass, not the workers.

BTW, I also have a class A contractor license. I will be the very first to tell you how stupid easy that test was! You don't even need a high school diploma to be a contractor, you need money, but not much of it.

I just had a 'tif' 3 days ago in a building trying to solve an indoor gutter issue. I love the, "this should hold" BS. That does NOT cut it! I am stuck running the HARD math and feeding over that at max capacity, gutter has 2300# of load, carried on these purlins, deflection is 1.4", but with kickers, I want that deflection down to .70" to reduce gutter joint stress. It's probably all the years I've had to listen to mindless BS, with no math. What's the yield strength of that 50ksi steel over there? Uh, what? yeah, the 50ksi steel?

I need a friggin vacation.
