We looked at some houses today and since some in the development are not complete I walked in and looked at the construction quality.
I thought that floor joists were normally 2x6es or 2 x 8s, and was amazed to see that they were using a piece of OSB sandwiched between what looked like two 2x3s.
. You can see that this "joist" is inserted into Simpson joist hangers and it looks rather absurd to me.
You can't see it in that picture, but the sub-floor above the joists is screwed down to the 2x3s, but about 3/4 of the screws missed the 2x3 and went into nothing. It looked like they used liquid nails as well.
BTW, they are asking around $700K for these houses, which are right next to a noisy freeway.
