    There a lot of window openings in that "box" so there are probably a lot of lateral loads ( shearwalls) to take into account ( especially if you are in a high seismic zone). Get a calculator and pen and do the math to prove the engineer over designed or get a third party review.

    I hear you saying Kings go bottomplate up to topplate, yet you call the right hand side of the first 6060 window kings. And mark them on top plate even, where they won't end up.
    Wasn't it a better solution to put in between top and bottom plate an extra piece of 2by material to act as a storypole thing for the hight between headers or even cut the headers and put them in there? Maybe after finishing all the true kingstuds layout so you can still use speedsquare to copy them from top to bottomplate.
    And yes that wall looks horrible designed. The double kings are understandable from the fact that most of them are cut by a window up or down.

    I get your frustration with this and the complaining. Looking at it from the designer/engineer side, was the contract with you or the homeowner? Assuming homeowner, do you know what the terms/scope of the contract were? I have had many owners cut out the designer and engineer during construction because they didn’t want to pay and expected the builder to “figure it out”. Nobody wants to work for free and take on liability they weren’t paid to deal with. Did they not do their job or did the client not want to pay for work that should have been done? Just want to understand how much of this truly falls on design team before throwing them under the bus.

    Tim. Thank you. I just had engineering done on a tandem garage, 12'-0" span, 5:12 that I not only designed, but I am slated to frame it. (Hansville, Kitsap Co) Super easy. The rookie apprentice spec'd crazy simpson that I've never needed before in 25 years of hand-cut roof framing. I'm so pissed, that I told the builder to go with trusses and save money.....on a 12 foot span....totally nuts. It seems the eng has no practical framing experience. You've inspired me to make a video about it. The art of stick-framing is being squeezed out of the process due to inept (scared) over engineering.

      Sometimes there are issues that a framer is not aware of. In a high seismic area framing can get complicated with hold downs , strapping etc. The engineer has to take liability for the building, not the contractor or framer. This may be a box but there are a lot of windows that will affect the lateral.

    That was a complex wall, but do you feel like once you had the left side done, the right side should have been a no brainer? And about that Jackery, how long can you leave those dormant? Will the batteries in them degrade a lot over time, if not used regularly? And further to that, how often would be considered "regularly"? THey seem like a very good "rainy day" item, but pretty pricey to have them not function when you pull them off the shelf after an extended period of not being used?

    Wow, that was pretty painful.
    I’m taking it that was the bottom plate and the middle plate that you were laying out, then you lay out the top plate later, is my guess? I’ll never understand why people don’t lay out all three plates at the same time.
    • So when you were laying out the top windows, why do you mark the bottom plate for the jack and stud that land on the headers? By doing it the way you’re doing, making marks on the bottom plate that don’t need to be there, makes it very confusing for the framer.
    • Also pick an identifier and stick with it, don’t keep changing symbols. On one sided opening you mark a “T” for the trimmer and on the other side you mark a “J” for jack. You did that several different times.
    •I honestly didn’t see anything difficult about that layout, I don’t know why you were brain farting all over the place.
    • Also just put seal seal down around between the sill plate and the foundation. It really takes hardly anytime and it helps keep the insects out, even though we spray foam insulate the box joist we still put down sill seal.

    It's pretty wildly different between some engineers and their interpretation of special structure details. I have found that in my area the older engineers that some are now retired. Their designs are far far more practical and simple, more cost efficient to build. The newer engineering companies are building way over and above what use to be the standard. Why? It's probably an insurance thing on their end, also schooling to new and more stringent standards. Ultimately the end client gets bill. Much higher bill. Spec builders get squeezed and don't make as much profit. What's right? IDK, but how many 1970's houses with zero engineering and built far far lower strength wise have blown down or had problems?

    This wall looks supremely annoying to engineer, and that got passed on to you. If every stick of framing had been dimensioned on the drawings, it still would have been a huge pain to transfer that to your plate markings, wouldn't it?
