Friends-
I may be freaking out unnecessarily.
Currently we are finishing our basement. We asked our contractor to frame out the stand and canopy when he was framing the basement walls. We had the tank and I gave him lots of information on exactly how it should be.
We are nearly done with the rest of the basement. We left the stand and tank for last so no random bits of dust would be a bother.
We are going to finish out the tank stand ourselves. I went last night to start and my contractor has built it a 1/2 inch short on all sides and top. I questioned him on why or if it was just a mistake. He said he thought we would put 1/2 sheathing around the frame and canopy. I got upset because I don't think that will be able to bear the weight or distribute it properly.
Before I go toe to toe with a guy who builds houses for a living. Does anyone know if this is okay? Eeek.
