Short story about a collar tie incident. I was investigating a complaint from a homeowner that stated she had just had a garage door installed and now her garage was starting to fall down. The installer was not responding to phone calls. In my inspection it was obvious the installer cut 3 collar ties to install a non folding/swing type door. The collar ties were cut out to allow swing room for the door to lift. The ridge started sagging like a camels back. I was able to contact the installer and get him back to jack the ridge back into place and reinstalled the collar ties a little higher this time. Everyone was happy.
