RE: Beckman Addition, Garfield County, Ct
Dear Simon:
Per y*ur request, I visited the Beckman I'Lesidence to observe framing conditions
prior to insulatian. -fhe observed framing êppears to be in general ctnformance v¡ith
the Canstructian Ðocuments with the following exceptians.
Item 1: The discantinucus wall plates at the tap af the wall had 24" steel strap*
added ta the inside face and are acçeptable as framed"
Item 2: The Garage dcor header was notched on ihe bottom edge 2" to fit in the
steel boot at the column' The member is * triple I 7"" lvlicrole¡m and tnras tripled tn
anticipation af door opening hardware aïtachments so has additianaf capací'ry" This
nctch is acceptable as framed.
Item 3: îhe windaw headers at the upper level were typically framed with sirrçÍe
trimmer studs. Thîs is acceptab'le at the typicaf headers since the typical laad beating
window header is 3'-0" or less in spa*r" T'he longer window headr¡r at the windor',¿
wall is also acceptable with a single trirnmer since it is a gable watl parallel to the
truss span so carries only a small amsunt af vertical load.
Item 4: The (3) 11 718 ML floor beam bears in a pocket cut into the wood bearinç
wall towards the back of the Garage. The photograph I was shown af the framing
indicates solid bearing so is acceptabl*.
Item 5: A double stud pack was added below the (2) ply kTicrolam framing the stair
apening and is accePtable.
Item 6: Sorne of the h*les cut in the web of the joists appear to be within 6" cf the
inside face of the 2x6 bearinç walt. These joists shall be repaired with the $pical
repair as directed by Weyerhauser Tectrnical Bulletin #817. This repair can be an
11-T18" Microlam with a minimum length of 2'-0" and sistered to a packed aut web as
indicated.
Please callif You have
