Just got a call from my local fire chief informing me that a set on stage at the theatre failed inspection by the fire dept and building inspector. I didn't have a hand in this set and haven't seen the issue myself yet, but he said something about supports not on 16" centers and boards cracking on the deck of the second story. He hadn't seen it himself though because he's out of town. He did say he supports the building inspectors decision to shut down the show until the issues are resolved.
I'm about to hop in my car and go see what's going on. Anyone used to seeing building inspectors expect 16" centers on 2x4 platforms?
I do know that the people who built this set were parents of kids in the show. When I saw the set this week, it looked well-built by carpenters (minus the use of OSB on walls). I'll be interested to see where it was breaking down and what deficiencies there were in the construction.
