Site Inspection of Structural Framing
REVISED 0811612I
Dear Mr. Duckham:
On July 22,202L, Robert P. Johnson, P.E.performed a site inspection of the
structural framing superstructure at the subject location. Please reference structural
drawings 5100 thru 5104.
I arrived at the residence at approximately 12:30 pm and performed the inspection,
(accompanied by Mr. John Severini) from then to approximately 2 pm.
Before I left Mrs. Severini arrived at the residence, and we spoke briefly.
I can send a copy of my red check marks (on the S100 series drawings) from my
inspection that day, if the Yarmouth Building Department needs to see them.
The very first item that John pointed out to me was the nailing pattern on the far
right front side (looking from Parkwood Road) in which he mentioned the Building
Inspector's concern over the integrity of the nails and/or sheathing.
We carefully walked through the entire structure, beginning with an inspection of
the roof framing and support posts, headers and any other items indicated on the
S100 series drawings and working our way downward throughout the structure.
After inspecting the upper superstructure, we walked outside the residence and
stepped through one of the basement openings and crouched along (very limited
basement headroom) to inspect the lst floor framing, basement posts and discussed
the options for protecting the integrity of the steel basement columns.
