Re: 0888 Schooner Lane Residence / Lot 25 Sterling Ranch Subd. / Carbondale,
Colorado / Framing Revisions and Inspections
Mr. Provost:
This letter is being written at the request of Mr. David Brown. Architect and
owner of the above referenced project to review a few select framing issues which were
discovered during a recent site inspection. The following items have been reviewed:
1) The sloped wood frame walls have been balloon framed along grid lines 6,7, & 8.
The specified rimboards at the top of these walls have been eliminated. The walls
are non-bearing shear walls and do not support roof load. The roof load is
supported by TJI joists which are parallel to the balloon frame walls. Therefore
this condition has been deemed to be acceptable. A similar condition exists along
grid Iines 1 & 2. See Sht S.2 Roof Framing.
2) The stair landing framing shown on S.3 between grid line 1 & 2 has been revised
to 2 x 8's DF ## 2 @ 16 inch o.c.
3) Holes for electrical wires were cut through the roof joists along Grid Line 2.
These holes and locations have been reviewed and deemed to not adversely affect
the structural integrity of the roof joists.
Should you have any further questions, please call or write.
