shortly after I started this blog, a tragedy occurred in Berkeley, CA that could have been avoided.
What first just seems like structural overloading, upon closer observation it looks like undiscovered rot on a building not yet 8 years old. As a friend of mine said…” Waterproofing problems kill more people than any other design defect”… While there’s no statistic to back it up, I would suspect it’s true. Certainly it’s the cause of more litigation than anything else.
