Good afternoon ladies and gents. I am writing a report for a new build I inspected this afternoon and ran into a header that I am assuming (yes I know what they say about assuming) was notched to fit in a sliding glass door. I am drawing a complete blank on coming up with reasoning why they shouldn't have done this. I don't recall a code cite for headers offhand and I'm having issues finding much information online. I can't recall seeing a header notched before. Plenty of joists, beams and the like. At the worst they've poorly notched out approximately 2" from the doubled 2x8's. Other than being a hack job can you learned gentlemen steer me in the right direction?
