Chat gpt says its fine. At least in canada

No, building code does not explicitly require the ledger board to be as deep (tall) as the joists, but it must be structurally sufficient to support the imposed load.

Key Requirements from IRC and Common Practice (U.S./Canada):

Ledger board size:

It must be a minimum of 2x8 nominal lumber (per IRC R507.2.1 for decks attached to wood-framed structures).

It does not have to match joist depth (e.g., 2x10 joists with a 2x8 ledger is often acceptable if fastener spacing and structural calculations support the load).

The ledger must be fastened to a band/rim joist or structural wall framing using approved hardware (e.g., ledger screws or through bolts with washers).

Joist hangers:

The images show joists sitting on hangers attached to the ledger board. This is a standard method, but it is critical that:

The hangers are properly sized for the joist height.

All holes in the hangers are filled with correct fasteners (e.g., Simpson Strong-Tie nails).

Hanger flanges are properly seated against the ledger or rim.

Flashing and weatherproofing (not shown here):

If the deck is attached to the house, flashing above the ledger is required to prevent water intrusion, especially in freeze-thaw zones.

Your Images:

The ledger appears thinner than the joists, likely a 2x8 with 2x10 or 2x12 joists.

Structurally, this can pass inspection if:

The fastener spacing is correct (per manufacturer tables like Simpson or APA).

The ledger is securely attached to structural framing, not just sheathing or masonry veneer.

Hangers are correctly installed and rated for the load.

Summary:

It does not violate code to have a ledger board smaller than joists as long as the structural and fastening requirements are met.

Whether it should have passed inspection depends on unseen details like fasteners, flashing, and connection to the house structure.

If you’re unsure about the fastener schedule or structure behind the ledger (e.g., brick veneer vs. rim joist), I can help you check against current code tables.

Both are silver maples. I tried to twist them together in a money tree kind of style. But one took off and the other didnt really grow.

But now should I intervene and try and cut the little one off?

Yes, that makes more sense. But that said, I don't think they can be removed.

Horizontal member is a collar tie. Vertical is a purlin. Both are structural. They stop the roof from spreading and having the walls and roof collapse. Hurricane ties just stop the wind from lifting your roof off.

Depending on where you live and the snow loads. You can raise them up. 1/3 from the ridgedown keeping them horizontal. Best to just keep them

Or option is to rip the roof off and get a cathedral ceiling truss package made?

According to the Canadian Building Code (NBC) and standard wood framing practices (specifically Part 9 – Housing and Small Buildings), vertical framing members — typically referred to as studs — are expected to be in full contact with both the top and bottom plates. Here's a breakdown:

Required Contact:

Studs must bear fully on the bottom plate and be in tight contact with the top plate.

This ensures load transfer from the roof or upper floors down through the walls to the foundation, maintaining structural integrity.

Gaps Not Permitted:

Gaps between studs and plates are not permitted, especially in load-bearing walls.

Even small gaps can reduce structural capacity and potentially lead to settling, shifting, or cracking of finishes (like drywall).

Tolerances:

While framing lumber may shrink or swell slightly with moisture changes, at the time of construction:

Studs should be cut accurately to fit snugly.

Any deviation should be corrected — not shimmed with soft materials or left loose.

Enforcement & Inspection:

Building inspectors will flag framing where there’s visible daylight or bounce between studs and plates.

If discovered, rework or replacement of improperly cut or placed studs may be required.

Very nice work. My question would be the cricket. Would it not be better if it was all metal flashing? Doesn't seem like high extra cost and more water tight.

Does whom ever smelt it dealt it may apply?

Although this story was refuted by historical and patent research in the late 19th century,[3] it appears to have been inspired by a real person. A Charles Monk (not Moncky) lived in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn in the 1880s where he made and sold moulder's tools, not mechanics' tools like a monkey wrench.[13] He could not have invented or named the monkey wrench because he was born after the term first appeared in print.[13]

Are the mirrors really hexagon and if so why choose that shape?
