c The letter is to address final rough frame inspections notes, and address concerns you
might have had on rough inspection.
1. The plans called for a 3 '/z" concrete filled steel column supporting the beam in the
a garage between the overhead doors, I approved solid wood studs for support, which will
work fine in vertical loading.
v, 2. The as built(4)24"x l 1" lvl beam in the main living area are more than sufficient to
QJ 06 support the Ioad above. The original engineering was (3)20"x 1 3/4" Ivl's, and we did
+.4 'r> calculation for steel for the homeowner. But what is their works.
•
3. The rear wall of the family room wes not balloon framed. But Simpson straps min. 18"
at all studs will work and provide adequate lateral resistance.5. I do recommend that a continuous transfer of load would be required to carry the
beams above in the dining room separating the mud area on the first floor. That load will
carry a roof load as well as second floor loading. I recommend min 4"x6" solid blocking
to shoe below.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact my office.
