I was a home builder for 7 years in Texas managing over 300 + trades. Frame issues like this were a constant battle. The crews were impressive in speed, but just lacked attention to detail. I’ve had to go back to fix more wavy roofs than I’d like to admit. This video is a good reminder of why I left! I started my business as a fence contractor now.
I set trusses in Florida and sheet too the problem could most likely be the blockers fault for not lining up there block good because when setting the trusses you line it up with the block but if it’s not lined up with the block it was the workers who set the trusses fault for not lining it up. but I also had a problem like that where only two trusses weren’t manufactured right because at the bottom it was plumb and at the top it was down about an inch from the other one
As a “Proud” Carpenter/General Contractor, these Bozos are “Nothing but a Clown Show”! These guys are Amateur Hour 101! Personally…I wouldn’t let them Build my Doghouse! 🤣🤣🤣
Another reason why I never do truss jobs. We only stick frame our roofs. I've set trusses string line straight in the ridge and the ends would be hella off. Due to poor truss construction and variations in their construction.
You are exactly right about the truss manufacturing. I have been a builder for 30+ years. I have had a stack of 30 trusses, banded together, laying on the ground together and they all did not line up. Something may have got moved during assembly, who knows. But, even if you line up straight with a string line on the bottom, you can still end up with the crooked ridge. I have sent trusses back before.
I am the company that came in to save the homeowner from the first crew that done this lousy work. We end up fixing the trusses and finishing the decking.
Good question. Thanks for asking. The way to fix it is to first put a dry string line from one end of the roof to the other end of the roof. This will show which rafter ridge point that is not lined with the string line. Once you see the ones out of line to the string line you would then have to take out all the nails on each bottom sides of the rafter seating on the CMU wall or top plate. If the rafter is nailed off, you would have to take out all nails in the plywood and any blocking in between in order to move the rafter on either side.
@@wendylou3469 True indeed. Work No one likes to do unless they are getting PA$D good money. In this case it cost the homeowner almost double to pay again for something he already PA$D contractors to do. SMH
@@besfloridaframersanddesignsllc Why? The homeowner should have never had to pay for this FU. The architect should never approve a change order cost for something like this. If this was the contractor's fault it is his problem. If it was the fault of the architect then his liability insurance should have covered it.
Good brother, he knows his craft.

That is really sad and the worst part is it’s a brand new building and the guys are still sheathing and framing is pathetic
The guys that put this roof on, or tried to, just don’t take any pride in their work. This has to be one of the worst jobs I’ve seen yet.
Industry Standard.
This is good man…keep pushing! Tired of the talkers…Need more Do’ers.
Thanks
It's not a trade anymore. There is little education from generations, just piece work.

Where the shops correct or did the architect miss it?
The problem was the 1 1/2 missing plate
what are you talking about lol? its pretty obvious that the missing top plate in areas is the issue.
not to mention, if those are all common truss why are all the peak plates running different ways, some anr standard and other are reversed

Those freamers no good, been doing ruuf truss for many years costumes homes truss are not 100% but we make work
Wow what a horrible job.
What a rookie mistake
Why haven’t you stopped the project they have to re-do all the trusses stop the lousy workers-in front of you

Oh wow! This is awful! Shat is that 1×2??? Thankfully you were not inside. I hope you sued.
it dont help that those trusses look OLD as fuck, and that one plate has poped out on the peak of the truss, should have never even been installed
What company did that?
Why are there still dudes firing nails if they jacked everything up 😂
No!, thats another crew that didn't want to do their job and also got fired. lol
Next time you want to show us straight vs not-straight, don’t use the fisheye.
How are you going to fix it?
