@awesomeframers: How do you inspect connections when the ceiling is already sealed? We tried something different on this build: sheathing the bottom of the ceiling joists with Zip and taping it. It ties the wall air barrier straight into the ceiling plane, creates an airtight boundary right above us, and leaves room for blown-in insulation with a vented attic. The catch? The inspector can’t see the rafter-to-top-plate connections from below. Quick fix: Hopped up top, shot a 2-minute walkthrough video inside @CompanyCam , earmarked the framing details, and generated a clean report to send directly to the building inspector. Done, covered, and no hold-ups. Have you guys used photo/video documentation to pass framing inspections in your jurisdiction? #framing #buildingscience #framersofinstagram #construction #carpentry

Just curious, how is using zip there better than a siga product? Unless you are installing t&g or something on the ceiling.

Until the inspector wants to physically see it like they do EVERYTHING here in Baltimore.

great idea if the inspector is okay with it. unfortunately our inspectors are completely unpredictable on what they want. and you never get the same one twice. 😅
