The inspector is requesting a letter regarding the boring and notching in the middle one-third of the roof rafter. The contractor did not follow the given instructions, and ½-inch holes have been bored at mid-span.
I found this guideline: Tip Sheet 11 – Notching and Boring of Wood Framing Members.
Can I use this document to justify the condition, or what is the recommended solution in this case?
