What was the reason given?
 
"Because I said so" was the reason given. The Forest Service engineer mentioned is a arrogant civil engineer whose training was in drainage and waste systems instead of a structural engineer, which would have been a better fit for the job. In other words, that we used in the trades- A TURD PUSHER. He also wanted the hafts to be fiberglass, but thankfully that did not happen.

Wow! and thanks for setting the record straight about the 🫸:poop:.
 
FSS specs, like Military Specs aren't necessarily "the best" generally just was a group of bureaucrats wanted.
