Hello,

1. Some slats are split at the headboard.

2. The attachment of the gutter in the designated position is without fastening.

3. The underlay membranes are not glued.

4. Battens and ventilation grilles are missing at the edges.

5. No nail sealing tape was installed beneath the counter-battens.

Thank you

Yeah, not ideal but pretty much irrelevant in my opinion.
It probably happens on every construction site if you look closely.

Well, if water runs along there, the rafters probably won’t last forever either... so what’s the point of the regulations?

Actually, water doesn’t run along there because everything overlaps properly.
As I said, the construction is fine, and it’s definitely more common than not for the thin spruce wood to split over time.

You can’t see that ... whether it is actually the case ... the nail sealing tape is meant to prevent that.
