Saved By the Screw

Pro Tip: Be honest with the engineer and have a recommendation

So I forgot to make sure the girder truss had the H2.5A installed before the soffits were installed around the porch. Still had access from inside, so I sent the engineer a mea culpa and asked if the new SWD could substitute. He wrote back with a yes and a length.

SWD is a construction screw designed to connect two timber members together. The small cap-style head and double thread creates a flexible, hidden assembly with high strength. The differentiated thread pitch creates a clamping effect, reducing the risk of gaps between the timber members.
