Dear Mr.Garvey:
This office has completed our structural investigation and field inspection of the newly
installed exterior OSB shear wall sheathing elements completed along the referenced
residence in Yarmounth,MA on October 29,2018.
Based the condition the existing exterior OSB shear wall sheathing some areas along
these elements need to conform to the Massachusetts State Building code with respect to
structural adequacy.
After new 8 penny nails are added as needed between(spaced equal distant between two
8 penny nails) an ineffective recessed 8 penny nail(countersunk below the exterior
surface) as found in the field and the OSB shear wall sheathing areas will then conform to
the Massachusetts State Building code with respect to structural adequacy.
This evaluation was based on observed measurements along existing exposed(non-
concealed) areas of the building found when a field reconnaissance and tactile inspection
when completed by the engineer. If additional engineering data,plans and tests are
brought to the engineer's attention in the future the recommendations and results
presented herein may be altered as determined by the engineer.
If you have any additional questions regarding this matter,please feel free to contact me
at your convenience.
Sincerely,
6..rt
