Bugman - probably all kinds of stuff was passed over. They did provide some useful mark-ups in earlier findings on this build. Not sure if I spoke to that here, but some strapping / fasteners missing, a wall penetration not caulked, stuff like that.
Ok, this past Thursday - another inspection, another no-pass. Photos in post above show what it looked like. Apparently that level of disassembly wasn't sufficient, so the roofers were back on Friday for further disassembly:
I think what they were trying to do for Thursday was to show the method of what was done throughout by only peeling back the front, but the inspector wanted to ACTUALLY SEE throughout. All this was originally assembled in a 1-day process, so the "correct" order would have been 1/2 - 3/4 day to get it to "inspectable", stop work there, schedule and pass the inspection, then come back out to finish putting the tiles on. I think there's responsibility on both sides - contractor and inspector. Contractor to understand what the inspection points are, and to direct the subs to stop at the inspection points, and the inspector to be clear about what has / has not passed and what does / does not still need to be seen. I'm not sure what the comms are between them. They don't seem to ever actually be here at the same time. The inspector makes very brief statements in an online record, but I'm not sure if the contractor reads those so much as tries to catch the inspector via phone. Inspector seems to be VERY busy, with MOST of the inspections in town going to him, so he may not even remember everything about my job when my guy calls.
Anyway, the roofers seemed pretty casual about it. They said this inspector's "being picky". They did add a different wrapping product over the ridge boards on Friday. It had what looked like tar paper nailed on before, and this new wrap is the same tacky/sticky stuff that went over all of the OSB under the tile.
Don't know if I've mentioned it, but every day that there's any activity, I've gone around the site and picked up nails and other trash. All of the crews have been generally pretty good with picking up the big stuff, but they're not examining the dirt all the way around for every last nail. I do this so me and my dogs are not stepping on nails 20 years from now, and any nails floating around anywhere near a garage or driveway are just asking to find a tire at some point. So even with this relatively small un-build / rebuild on the roof, I've found yet more nails all around the building. If you're doing one of these projects, I'd recommend getting out there for this kind of clean up every day. It also helps prevent damage to materials as crews move things around, and you prevent unknown junk buried in the walls, under base plates, between drywall and studs, etc.
