what about ICF construction - city inspection prior to stucco application didn't say anything about weed screed when the chicken wire was exposed and visible --- switch inspectors and final CO time and he said he needs to see it - who is correct - ICF is essentially a solid concrete wall - original inspector said it wasn't required --- anybody a little help please - perhaps a code number. thanks

does r301.7 apply to roof joists on a flat style roof ? I recently observed 5/8 inch deflection on a 20 foot span with 10.5 inch wide joists on 24 inch centers when the roof was loaded with a 1500 lb. piece of equipment in the center of the span. the center area had blocking added to help spread the load out over a larger area in the roof structure . This "dead load " would be added to the capacity of the roof when supporting snow and rain in winter .

Im pretty sure it's the lime in the mortar washing away and or stone dust from rain or from a pressure wash etc. Could be from the day the stone was installed. If windows weren't protected from wet mortar the metal finish would be stripped by the chemicals in the mortar. I'd see if all windows were doing this that had stone above the window. If mortar was on the sill they also could have cleaned it to abrasively stripping the finish. Lots to think about. Like others said deposits from hard water irrigation.

We had this issue. First, we adjusted our sprinkler system to lessen the chance of routine spraying against the house. Our water is highly mineralized in our area, and the wind still blows the sprinkler water against the house, causing the mineral deposits on the windows and window frames. We cleaned everything with CLR, then rinsed the windows thoroughly. This was followed by coating the window glass with the same product folks use to minimize rain droplets on their car windshield. We also used a good quality car wax on the window frames. Yep, looks good, and it certainly was passed by the house inspector when we sold the house a year later.
