J.T. Pennington - Week 13 Lessons Learned

Week 13 : November 20th - November 24th - Short week because of Thanksgiving.

Lessons learned/reflections:

Monday, November 20th: Continued on interior elevations of a private residence, hoping to wrap it up before I leave for the conclusion of the mentorship. Kate gave me redlines for a prviate residence in Sullivan's Island and I switched gears to work on them.

Tuesday, November 21st: Discussed the writing prompt that I will write about later this week, and continuing on redlines for a private residence on Sullivan's Island. Went to two project jobsites under construction in Charleston peninsula. Good discussion regarding problems with wood framing, structural problems, construction methods.

Discussion of detail for hurricane loads with metal strapping. This photograph was too dark and I brightened it enough to share online:

Discussion that I pointed out about the ice and dam watershield / lack of correct flashing condition at the bottom of windows in the living room. Kate and I were discussing theoretical best case scenarios.

Close to the property line will mean a required UL assembly for rated wall condition.
