[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"The beam didn't turn to brisket because of poor framing; bulk water infiltration caused by shoddy exterior flashing and finish work did that (and sometimes poor design exacerbates it)." Following this line of thought, the beam didn't rot because it wasn't strong enough, or because the material it was built from was weak or the wrong choice, or because it was undersized. By all accounts it was installed properly. There was nothing wrong with the beam. [/quote] A steel beam will rust in that situation, but it would take many decades to lose its structural integrity, rather than a few years with a wood beam. [/quote] Or you could, you know, install the flashing properly. [/quote]
