Subject: Structural Observations
Dear Ms. Reid,
At your request, a representative of SGM conducted art initial site visit to a residence J_ocated at
1216 County Road 233 in Rifle, Colorado on May 5th, 2010 . The purpose of the site
observation was to observe the overall structural condition of the residence In response to
concems brought forth by the Garfield County Building Department. It Is our understanding that
the previous owner of the property stated to the Building Department that the residence was
uninhabitable.
Observations:
The residence observed is a 2 story, log and dimension lumber framed structure founded upon
conventional spread footings . Interior finishes consist of drywall and painted wood paneling.
For the purpose of this report the front of the residence faces towards the west. A picture of the
southwest comer of the residence is Included as Figure 1. The area around the house generally
slopes down to the west. At the east side of the house the driveway drains towards the
foundation ar)d tnto the basement access.
A full height basement Is located under the main portion of the residence . The board formed
concrete foundation appears to be ur.relnforced concrete. Portions of the visible concrete
exhibited segregation . Large, rounded aggregate was also observed in the concrete. A large

vertical crack was observed In the southwest corner of the foundation. The south foundation
wall appe~rs to have rotated into the basement 3 to 4 Inches. A picture of the vertical crack and
south foundation wallis included as Figure 2. A porch has been recently added to the west side
of the residence. The porch consists of concrete slab over concrete masonry stemwalls. The
porch foundation was not visible at the time of our site observation .
The first floor framing consists of rough sawn 2x8 joists at 18'' on center supported by three
equally spaced triple 2x8 beams. The beams are supported by posts founded on concrete pad
footings. The floor is creaky and small differences in the surface elevation were felt but no
damage was observed during our site observation.
A small hole In the drywall in the kitchen ceiling allowed us to observe a 2x6 floor joist under the
second floor. We were not able to determine the spacing but the joists appear to span from the
outer wall to a center bearing wall . The second floor Is also creaky and uneven but no damage
was observed in the floor or ceiling finishes other than isolated water stains.
The roof framing consists Qf 2x6 rafters at 24 Inches on center with collar ties approximately
mid-height between the ridge and the ceiling. No damage was observed to the rafters. Two
layers of cedar shingles were observed. We did not have access to a ladder; therefore our
observations were limited to the portion of the roof structure visible from the attic access hatch .
The porch roof consists of 2x6 rafters at 24" on center spanning 8 feet. The front edge of the
porch roof Is supported by a double 2x6 beam on 4 posts. One ply of the beam is spliced at
various midspan locations. At the back of the porch, the rafters are toe-nailed to the face of the

log wall. Angle clips have been installed to alternating rafters.
Discussion/Recommendations;
Based upon our site observations, and the lack of damage observed to interior finishes, we
believe that, although this structure was not originally constructed to current building standards,
the original floors, walls and roof are performing satisfactorily compared to other buildings of
similar age and construction. Continued maintenance will likely be required but we did not
observe any immediate life-safety Issues In these components. When the existing shingles are
replaced, all of the existing layers should be removed to reduce the load on the roof system. In
our opinion the building is safe to occupy at this time but the following items should be
addressed.
The drainage on the east side of the house needs to be directed away from the foundation.
This can most easily be acccmplished with a drainage swale in the driveway. Care should be
taken to avoid any utilities that may exist under the driveway such as the pipe from the septic
tank to the leach field or the existing water service. We can assist you with preparing a
drainage plan at your request.
The south foundation wall is rotating inward and needs to be repaired. Constant pressure is
exerted on the outside of the wall from lateral earth loads as well as hydrostatic loading during
Irrigation and rainfall events. Although the wall does not present an immediate life-safety Issue,
we expect that it will continue to rotate inward until It compromises the structural integrity of the
residence. Several methods for repairing the damage Include:
1. Bracing the wall from the interior of the basement. This could consist of braces that
cross the Interior of the basement, anchors that are installed through the wall and
into the soil behind the backfill zone or concrete buttresses cast against the inside of
the wan.
2. Shoring up the residence and removing the existing unreinforced concrete wall and
replacing It with a reinforced concrete wall.
3 . Excavating the existing backfill and placing a new reinforced concrete foundation
against the outside face of the existing wall .
In our opinion the third option will likely be the most economical and practical solution. The first
option relies upon the existing wall being sound enough to transfer the pressure to the bracing.
Beeause the wall is compromised, a cons iderable amount of bracing would be required. The
second option will return the structure to its original condition but will likely be the most
expensive. We suggest discussing the third option with a reputable contractor to determine an
estimated cost. Care should be taken when connecting the new wall to the exi sting wall to
prevent moisture from infiltrating the joint. We can help you design the repair at your request.
The front porch beam Is undersized and the rafters are not adequately attached. An additional
2x6 should be added to each side of the existing beam. The new 2x6's should only be spliced
over the columns and an appropriate column cap should be Installed. All existing rafters should
be attached to the beam and log wall with rafter clips and face mount hangers .

On my repair plan, detail 8 on sheet S1 showed a brace detail that included a strap wrapped
around the beam and attached to a kicker and blocking between the joists. I typically Include
this detail because the joists rarely align with the column. It is my understanding that in this
situation the column is aligned with a joist such that it Is possi ble to Install the kicker directly to
the side of the joists and the column. An acceptable alternative to the detail shown on my plan
is to install the kicker directly to the side of the joists and the top portion of the column with (3)
16d nails at each end provided that the kicker is Installed flush to the side of both the joist and
the column. If the jo ist and column are not aligned then the detail shown on my plan should be
used.

Subject: Structural Observations
Dear Ms. Reid,
At your request, a representative of SGM conducted a site visit to a residence located at 1150
County Road 233 in Rifle, Colorado on September 29th, 2010. The purpose of the site
observation was to observe the repairs made to the basement and front porch of the residence
that we recommended in our initial report dated May 18, 2010. In our report we recommended
repairing the south foundation wall, attaching east end of the porch rafters to the ledger and
adding additional plies to the beam at the west side of the front porch . We also prepared a
foundation repair plan dated June glh, 2010.
During our site visit we observed the repairs performed in the basement and front porch . We
believe the repair work was performed in general conformance with our report and foundation
repair plan. Due to the age of the structure , continued maintenance will likely be required but
we did not observe any life-safety issues at the time of this site visit. In our opinion the building
is safe to occupy at this time .
This report is based upon our site observations, and our experience with projects of this type.
Our observations were limited by the presence of backfill, wall and ceiling coverings, and other

To: Lisa Reid
From: John Boulden
At your request I have prepared a list of items needing additional work that I
discussed with Chuck during my site visit yesterday. These items are as follows:
1. The west end of the north beam (in the old coal room) that was
repaired needs an additional 2x6 column supporting it.
2. The new beams need kickers installed at each column in accordance
with detail B on the foundation repair plan. This occurs at two
locations on the north beam and one location on the south beam.
3. The beam pockets need shims under the beams and the sides of the
beams should be packed out. This occurs in three locations.
4. The top of the wall should be squared up with grout where uneven.
This mostly occurs on the east wall. All areas with honeycombing
should be finished with grout.
I have also prepared a brief letter you can present to the building department
indicating that all of the items I brought up in my May report have been
addressed. Please do not hesitate to call me with any questions or comments.

Re: Building Permit BLRE-1803
1150 C.R. 233, Rifle, CO.
Dear Ms. Reid,
Thank you for meeting with me for the inspection of your residence. I believe since none of the
electric appeared to be of any new construction; a sign off by the electrical inspector is not
required. It appears the structural repairs to the floor system and foundation were done as per
the engineer's requirements outlined and approved in John Boulden of Schmueser Gordon
Meyer's letter and memorandum dated September 30, 2010. We also have in the file a
completed septic application, design and approval ofthe installed system. From today's
inspection, the final punch list from the building department is as follows:
• Please provide the building department with a receipt from an HVAC contractor that
there has been a safety check on the operations and venting for the furnace and hot
water heater in the basement.
• Due to the use of propane appliances in the basement, please have possibly the same
HVAC professional install a propane sniffer and gas line shutoff alarm system for the
basement area.
• Please provide venting for combustion air in the basement. Your talented HVAC person
could design this for you.
• Please install an additional Carbon Monoxide alarm in the 2"d floor hallway adjacent to
the bedrooms.
I will explain to the planners that we are very close to finishing out the building permit issues.
Thank you for hanging in there and making the structure a safe building to occupy. Please call
with any questions you might have.
Yours truly,

Mrs. Reid may be submitting a building permit while I am gone. I believe she has all the paper work including an
engineer's review of the existing structure to submit in order to complete the building permit application. The land use file
and septic permit file are on my desk. We should hold off on issuing the building permit until the exemption issues are
ironed out. Presently there are two dwellings on a single lot which I believe the exemption once finalized will cure. ·--> _ ..

Dear Ms. Reid,
At your request, a representative of SGM conducted ar initial site visit to a residence located at
1216 County Road 233 in Rifle, Colorado on May 5th, 2010. The purpose of the site
observation was to observe the overall structural condition of the residence in response to
concerns brought forth by the Garfield County Building Department. It Is our understanding that
the previous owner of the property stated to the Building Department that the residence was
uninhabitable.
Observations:
The residence observed is a 2 story, log and dimension lumber framed structure founded upon
conventional spread footings. Interior finishes consist of drywall and painted wood paneling.
For the purpose of this report the front of the residence faces towards the west. A picture of the
southwest comer of the residence is Included as Figure 1. The area around the house generally
slopes down to the west. At the east side of the house the driveway drains towards the
foundation al)d Into the basement access.
" ··-...:~ ., F ~ '-·~ t
A full height basement Is located under the main portion of the residence. The board formed
concrete foundation appears to be ur.relnforced concrete . Portions of the visible concrete
exhibited segregation . Large, rounded aggregate was also observed in the concrete. A large

vertical crack was observed In the southwest corner of the foundation. The south foundation
wall appears to have rotated into the basement 3 to 4 Inches. A picture of the vertical crack and
south foundation wallis Included as Figure 2. A porch has been recently added to the west side
of the residence . The porch consists of concrete slab over concrete masonry stemwalls. The
porch foundation was not visible at the time of our site observation.
The first floor framing consists of rough sawn 2x8 joists at 18" on center supported by three
equally spaced triple 2x8 beams. The beams are supported by posts founded on concrete pad
footings . The floor is creaky and small differences in the surface elevation were felt but no
damage was observed during our site observation.
A small hole In the drywall in the kitchen ceiling allowed us to observe a 2x6 floor joist under the
second floor. We were not able to determine the spacing but the joists appear to span from the
outer wall to a center bearing wall. The second floor Is also creaky and uneven but no damage
was observed in the floor or ceiling finishes other than isolated water stains.
The roof framing consists af 2x6 rafters at 24 Inches on center with collar ties approximately
mid-height between the ridge and the ceili ng . No damage was observed to the rafters. Two
layers of cedar shingles were observed. We did not have access to a ladder: therefore our
observations were limited to the portion of the roof structure visible from the attic access hatch.
The porch roof consists of 2x6 rafters at 24" on center spanning 8 feet. The front edge of the
porch roof Is supported by a double 2x6 beam on 4 posts. One ply of the beam is spliced at
various midspan locations. At the back of the porch , the rafters are toe-nailed to the face of the

log wall. Angle clips have been installed to alternating rafters.
Qtscusslon/Recommendatlonli
Based upon our site observations, and the lack of damage observed to interior finishes, we
believe that, although this structure was not originally constructed to current building standards,
the original floors, walls and roof are performing satisfactorily compared to other buildings of
similar age and construction. Continued maintenance will likely be required but we did not
observe any immediate life-safety Issues In these components. When the existing shingles are
replaced, all of the existing layers should be removed to reduce the load on the roof system. In
our opinion the building is safe to occupy at this time but the following items should be
addressed.
The drainage on the east side of the house needs to be directed away from the foundation.
This can most easily be accomplished with a drainage swale in the driveway. Care should be
taken to avoid any utilities that may exist under the driveway such as the pipe from the septic
tank to the leach fteld or the existing water service. We can assist you with preparing a
drainage plan at your request.
The south foundation wall is rotating inward and needs to be repaired. Constant pressure is
exerted on the outside of the wall from lateral earth loads as well as hydrostatic loading during
Irrigation and rainfall events. Although the wall does not present an immediate life-safety issue,
we expect that it will continue to rotate Inward until it compromises the structural integrity of the
residence. Several methods for repairing the damage Include:
1. Bracing the wall from the interior of the basement. This could consist of braces that
cross the Interior of the basement, anchors that are Installed through the wall and
into the soil behind the backfill zone or concrete buttresses cast against the Inside of
the wall.
2. Shoring up the residence and removing the existing unreinforced concrete wall and
replacing It with a reinforced concrete wall.
3 . Excavating the existing backfill and placing a new reinforced concrete foundation
against the outside face of the existing wall.
In our opinion the third option will likely be the most economical and practical solution. The first
option relies upon the existing wall being sound enough to transfer the pressure to the bracing.
Because the wall Is compromised, a considerable amount of bracing would be required. The
second option will return the structure to its original condition but will likely be the most
expensive. We suggest discussing the third option with a reputable contractor to determine an
estimated cost. Care should be taken when connecting the new waH to the existing wall to
prevent moisture from Infiltrating the joint. We can help you design the repair at your request.
The front porch beam Is undersized and the rafters are not adequately attached. An additional
2x6 should be added to each side of the existing beam. The new 2x6's should only be spliced
over the columns and an appropriate column cap should be Installed. All existing rafters should
be attached to the beam and log wall with rafter clips and face mount hangers.

GENERAL NOTES:
1. Design and construction shall be in accordance with the requirements of the
International Residential Code, 2003 Edition (2003 !RC). Loads used in design
ore as follows:
-Roof/Deck LL = 40 psf
-Roof DL = 15 psf
-Floor LL = 40 psf
-Wind pressure based on 90 mph. J sec gust, Exposure C
-Se1Smic Design Category 8
2. The design was prepared using on assumed maximum so1'l bearing pressyre of
1500 psf and an assumed equi valent fluid pressure of 45 pcf._ The _soils or~
assumed to be uniform and non-expansive. The intent of fhts reparr plan 1S
to strengthen existing members which were found to be deficien t. The load
path has not been altered by this repair. The design was based upon t he
generally satiSfactory hiStorrCol performance of the structvre. T~ese values
shall be verified by a site-specific soils observation by t/le engmeer at time of
construction.
J. Concrete shall reach a minimum compressive strength of 3000 psi in 28 days.
All exterior slabs and wolfs shall have a minimum of 5% entrained air.
Reinforci'ng shall be conformance with ASTM A615, Grode 6q. All rein_forcinp .
shall be secured in place prior to concrete placement. Honzonto/ remforcmq ITI
walls and footings shall be mode continuous around corners by "L" bars, o r by
shop bending. Lap splices shall be a minimum of 44 bar diamete~s. . .
Reinforcement shall be mode continuous through all wall constructton ;omts and
steps. Provide sleeves around all existing ·pipe penetrations and seal with an
appropriate flexible compound. It is the responsibility of the owner /.
contractor to coordinate all embeds, penetrations, openings and to venfy all
plan dimensions prior to forming and placing concrete.
4 Anchor bolts shall be ASTM A307 with 7" minimum embed unless noted
otherwiSe.
5. Wood framing shall be connected in accor dance with IRC unless noted
otherwise. Mofen"ols shall b e as follo ws :
-Laminated Veneer lumber: Noted as LVL on plan ore 1.9[ manuf acture d by
Weyerhaeuser, or equal.
Columns shall be (3) 2x6 unless noted otherwise . Column siZes are
designated on plan at highest poi nt and remain that size unless noted
otherwise. Wood columns shall extend to foundations.
6. Dimens ions ore t o edge of framing or concrete, unless noted o t herwi s e. All
discrepancies shall be brought to the attenti on of the £(1gineer and Owner prior
to construction.
7. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to coordinate construction with all
equipment and utilities, and verify sizes and l ocations before construction.
8. STABILITY DURING ERECTION: Framing is not stable until all framing,
connections, floors, and roofs have been installed and conne-::ted in accordance
with these plans and the 2003 IRC. It is the responsibility of the contr actor
to provide temporary bracing to stabiliZe framing unill the s tructu re is
complete.
