Dear Jeff:
February 4, 2013
The contractor, Chris Christensen, requested that I review a few comments from the
building department framing inspection.
!tem 1: The deck column to beam connection was framed with a BC cap in lieu of
the AC cap and is acceptable.
Item 2: The exterior stud wall plywood sheathing was placed as OSB with the
long dimension vertical. This is acceptable but all horizontal joints are to be blocked.
Item 3: The garage door headers were not framed continuous across the shear
wall panels at the ends and center of the garage wall. The wails shall be packed
solid at the header location with (3) 91 Microlams supported on a new trimmer each
end. A new 9 '/x Microlam shall be placed full width of the garage on the inside of
the wall adjacent to the existing header and solid packing, and be connected with
PL400 adhesive & (2) SDS25600 screws @ 16" on center full length.
Item 4: The CS16 sway brace strap will be replaced by installing a finished wood
sheathing on the ceiling of the entry with all joints fully blocked.
Please call with any questions or comments.
