On that pic, up at the top, it looks likes there's a hurricane clip there? or something to secure the pieces...my guess would be they skipped a clip(if that's what it is)...or something along those lines...codes regulations designate everything from the number of fasteners in each application, to the spacing, etc...so the crews go along at a fast clip, and the boss comes in behind them and check, and marks!!
Thank you Donna! That is a great explaination. Yes, this was mass-produced tract housing, so the idea of the foreman coming along and inspecting the work and noting areas for repair makes a lot of sense!
