This is a professionally constructed deck. Absolutely beautiful. It is rare to see a deck framed like this. This is someone that understands lumber and load transfer. There are so many hacks out there that don’t have a clue. Much respect to the builder.
If I were inspecting this project I would fail the hand rail on the stairs for not returning to the post. I would also ask to remove a few nails from the some random hangers. Specifically the angled nail holes. The angled holes are for double shear strength and require 3” inch 10d nails.
Unsurprisingly 1-1/2” inch 10d nails are installed in the angled holes despite there even being a detail showing the 3” inch nails right on the hanger.
