Subject: Front and Rear Deck Structural Inspection, 10 Cygnet Road, West Yarmouth,MA
Dear Mr. Inkley,
I was retained Bob Morin to provide perform a structural inspection of the new decks at the
subject project. On Wednesday,October 17,2018 I met with Mr. Morin on site. He had opened
up a hole with a post hole digger so I could verify that the new sona tubes were 48"deep. The
decks are small,4' x 5' for the front and 8' square for the rear. They are neatly framed with PT
2x8's spaced 16"on center. In addition to the sona tubes,the front deck bears on an older
concrete block front step. The rear deck joists run parallel to the rear wall of the house. The
joist adjacent to the house is fastened to the house with modem high strength lags. The 4x4
newell posts were notched at the deck level for a flush installation of the rim joists. Due to the
redundancy of the railings attached to the nailed 2x2 balusters,the newel]posts are not acting
alone and the notches are acceptable.
I have attached an as-built sketch of the decks. It is my professional opinion that the decks were
built neatly and that they can resist the structural loads as required by the Massachusetts state
building code,9th edition.
If you have any questions,please feel free to contact me.
