Otis, if you'll go to the TFEC website
www.timberframeeingineeringcouncil.org and go to the general library, you'll see the most recent version of the General Notes we created this year. There are several paragraphs in these suggested provisions that relate to quality. Also, a new TFEC committee will be organized after the first of the yearto develop a Code of Standard Practice. I expect we'll be dealing with the issue more in that document as well.
