How would you guys framed thesse legs/struts differently? Felt like there was a better way to do this. The rafters are 20ft so they need additional support. Whats the best way to take some load off them?

Builder ordered the wrong size jambs for 2x4 framed garage. Judging by how far these jambs are sticking out from the 2x4 framing, my builder ordered windows with jambs sized for 2x6 framing (used in the rest of the house). I’ll be addressing with my builder tomorrow but thought I’d get some ideas from you all for potential remedies. The crew lead who installed them today never mentioned anything about the size discrepancy to me when he and I were chatting at 5 pm today. I hadn’t walked into the garage until after he’d left for the day. Any ideas about how I should broach this subject with the builder? Part of me wants him to rip these out and install new ones that are properly sized. And he should eat the cost. His oversight led to this problem. Or do you think he’ll suggest some sort of solution involving flush cutting the jamb to align with the 5/8” drywall? Or am I missing something obvious since I’m not a builder? Thanks!

Window framing, wild or ok? Had a contractor out at my house for framing. I just tore out some sheathing and found these treasures underneath. Are they ok or should I reframe them?

For all the hate the plumbers get for wrecking the framing, mines here using his Kreg jig to replace the studs he had to remove!! He's young, and just going out on his own, so life hasn't crushed his soul yet!

How much can a rafter at top be cut to be within code? To fit into existing roof, framer had to cut the 2x7 1/4 LVL like this. It is close to 2-2 1/2" cut at the top plate where it is landing. (not sure exact name, is it plumb cut?) framer says he can cut like 40% without issue. feels a bit strange you can cut so much. Should they put hangers over there?

Why is there a river under my house? I was putting in a floor safe and there’s a legit river under my basement floor. I don’t see any pipes at all. Is it normal to have this much ground water?

Any idea what’s going on with my siding? Just bought this townhome and noticed on the first cold morning that there is a weird steaks of condensation on the second floor. (Located in Summit County, CO. High elevation) It looks like the gaps between the framing (2x4’s) are developing the streaks. Could this mean there is no insulation in the gaps? Is this something to worry about?
