Tell your builder you believe the floor is rotted and your shift key is not working on your keyboard.

How can it be rotten, wasn't this house just built in the last few months?

UNDER CONSTRUCTION & TRUSSES TOOK 2 MONTHS FRAMING STARTED IN NOVEMBER & DELAYS SO FLOOR LOOKS LIKE ITS BEEN EXPOSED TO ELEMENTS FOR AT LEAST 3 MONTHS I TOLD MY BUILDER TO PUT UP A TARP BUT SAID ITS TO MUCH MONEY SO WAITING FOR THE BLOW UP PHONE CALL TOMOR IM TELLING BUILDER GET IT RIGHT I KNOW CONTRACTS SAY BUILDER NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WEATHER DELAYS ETC SO WILL SEE ITS BEEN 9 MONTHS & NOT DRYED IN SO NOW ALL THIS WATER DAMAGE I CALLED CONSTRUCTION LOAN REP & HE SAID THIS IS COMMON ON HOUSES BEING BUILT

I CANT SEE I NEED CAPITAL LETTERS

I CANT SEE I NEED CAPITAL LETTERS"

GERARD -NO, YOU DON'T.  YOU NEED TO ADJUST THE FONT.  TRY "NO SQUINT."

Lewis Black we know its you. Seriously read this in his voice....

Would you have someone who can help post a picture here?  Something showing the brand name of the subfloor that is rotted if possible.

You can increase the size of a browser window. Its "Command +" on a Mac.

All caps is considered shouting.

SORR but The PHONE typing is a drag SO STOP ASK ME ABOUT IT GET OVER IT

Here r some PICS FROM THIS week

I might HAV TO FIRE BUILDER" WONT GIVE ME A COMPLETED DATE IM KIND OF STUCK CAUSE MOST BUILDERS IN NORTH CAROLINA ARE SWAMPED WITH WORK . ALSO SUPPLIES ARE 3 TO 6 MONTHS DELAYED FOR DELIVERY I DONT NO WHAT TOO DO AT THIS POINT " BROKE GROUND IN MARCH 2021 I SOMETIMES JUST WANT TO STOP THE WHOLE THING & SELL

You have to wait for the pictures to load before hitting the submit button. They will appear gray and then fully load.

I'm over it.

Of course you cant get a delivery date when so many supply chain issues exist! A quality subfloor is not going to “rot” in that timespan. Youre engaging in hyperbole, dramatics, and a bit of near slander.

If you're having this much difficulty communicating with us, what has it been like for the builder on the other end? Dealing with all of this, and worse? Do you not have a helper that handles communicating for you? A relative, friend, or minder, who has POA and can act in your interests?

Just to help a bit, Gerard, here is the photo you posted on a resurrected 14 year old thread the other day:

You do have Advantech, and some will need replaced. ServiceMaster will also have quite the job coming to them soon as well. This should be going through the contractor's insurance, so don't fire them just quite yet, as it will make it much harder. It sounds as though you immediately need to get a construction attorney to represent you.

That sure looks like way more than 3 months exposure. 14 years??

"SORR but The PHONE typing is a drag"

My elderly relative does the all caps thing because of poor vision on a flip phone, so I understand. However, you must be using a smartphone to access this website, so what you can do is use the "two-finger touch and spread or pinch" to adjust the zoom while you interact with the site.

HERE'S mor pics of FLOOR "

I see absolutely nothing to be concerned with in those pictures. Definitely no ROTTED subfloor.

After I was done looking at the floor, I was looking at the way that the walls are framed up to a certain height and then have another 6-12 inches of wall framed on top of them. Isn't that a deviation from code in most jurisdictions? Shouldn't these walls be framed continuous floor to floor?

GERARD, I DON'T SEE AN ISSUE WITH THE SUBFLOOR ENLARGING ON MONITOR EITHER. I'M SURE YOU ARE IMPATIENT WITH DELAYS, MANY OF US ARE. ANGERING OR INSULTING YOUR CONTRACTOR WON'T GET YOU IN ANY FASTER, YOU WILL JOIN A LONG LINE OF PEOPLE WAITING FOR ATTENTION FROM A CONTRACTOR IF YOU CAN FIND ONE TO FINISH A PROJECT ALREADY BEGUN BY SOMEONE ELSE. IT'S A DIFFERENT TIME, OFTEN A FRUSTRATING TIME TO BE BUILDING. EVERYONE IS BUSY, ORDERS ARE DELAYED. LIGHT FIXTURES, APPLIANCES, LUMBER, EVEN WINDOWS. IT'S NOT JUST YOU, ITS SADLY THE WAY THINGS ARE RIGHT NOW.

WISHING YOU THE BEST....

walls are framed up to a certain height and then have another 6-12 inches of wall framed on top of them

A set of top cripples and a second double top plate. Maybe someone measured wrong.

This is typically done on renos where the ceiling height is being raised.

What's questionable is that trusses are supposed to be in line with the studs, or the cripples that are, in turn, in line with the studs. Many of those are not in line.

As for the truss to stud connections, no tie brackets are visible. But there are alternatives that are accepted in different jurisdictions. Last build I did, special brackets were speced along with 8" long Simpson screws.

Whether or not light fixtures, appliances, windows, whatever is delayed, it is a mistake for a General Contractor to have the framing closed in, and yet not to have the roof ready for weather. Especially when they know materials are delayed or they cannot get back to the jobsite for any period of time, no excuses about it being a "different time" or anything. It is as simple as using a synthetic roof underlayment, which some are good to be exposed for 6 months to the weather, and housewrap where the windows are not cut in.

If you really look at the 2 pictures and the other first one, there is remediation that has to happen from having the roof open for so long.

And the extended wall studs do create a hinge point.

What's remediation?

remediation = repair, correction of damage

I'm not a builder I DONT know what u mean on framing to study or Trusse

TK U Worthy u r CORRECT" TRUSSE COMPANY as u can See MADE Mistake & Correction was Made To Give HEIGHT Clearance by A foot To send TRUSS Back & REORDER WOULD Take 2 MONTHS To get NEW Corrected Order of TRUSSES Don't know Why This Happ But Constr MANAGER Said It WILL be Done RIGHT To U for INFO

Probably need a structural engineer's approval on the wall addition.

Covid shut down a few factories and materials are massively delayed as things aren't produced or delivered by the WFH environment, so completion estimates are difficult.

You can help by getting all selections made and cabinet plans signed off.

Early materials purchases may require early funding.

IT IS ADVANTECH

TK U SER " I JUST GOT BACK FR NC AFTER CK IN ON BUILD ITS ALL GOOD WAS JUST DIRTY SAWDUST NOT ROT ALL HOMES DELAYED DOWN IN WESTERN NC ONE BY ME STARTED IN OCT 21 HAS FOUNDATION IN & FIRST FLOOR FRAMED HE APPROACHED MY BUILDER FOR HELP CAN'T TAKE A LOOK FOR 2 MONTHS I SAID I DIDN'T MIND " HIS FOOTER DRAIN WRONG " TK FOR INFO REGAR gerard

GARAGE floor

Yes, I know I should walk past this post… but Gerard - advice to you. Take it back a notch as others have said. If you are addressing your builder this way, well he’s probably putting you on his ##it list. I’ve learned I get much better results about a complaint when I’m organized, detailed and polite.
