This is the kind of stuff that just absolutely drives me INSANE!!!!
Note the nut isn't tight..... and then in the second picture you'll see why! Look at those galled up threads! OMG.....
Here's another quality example of "you're fired!".......
I was wondering why there were so many WASHERS in an unopened bag.....
There is supposed to be a "rocker nut" UNDER the nut and washer.... these tensioning cables are used to keep the building square in windy conditions... because the building will rack...
Let me ATTEMPT to explain this..... This is a back corner post/upright.... it's the outside corner. When THEY put this together --- 3 guys standing around staring up -- so I went out to see why they're all staring and scratching their sack..... and they're discussing cutting the brackets off where they extended beyond the angle the next day and re-welding the part that extended beyond the angle - around the corner so they could put on the board that should come from the back side... In other words -- they had run the board on the side (on the left of this picture) of the building all the way to the end of the bracket and attached it -- then they couldn't land the backside board anywhere since they'd covered up the entire bracket... their SOLUTION was to remove the boards -- cut half the bracket off - and re-weld it to the back side of the angle upright.
I looked at this "problem" and said -- why don't you just unbolt the board and slide it back to where the end meets the corner of the angle upright --- and then you'll have a place for the back side board to land (NOW AS SHOWN IN THE PICTURE).... It was a total "huh?" for them. I had to explain it TWICE.
The next day - they were fired.
