Feb. 28, 2023framing inspection. This memo specifically addresses the roof and ceiling
framing at the garage wing.
1. Photo 001: Sloping `I' joist rafters bear in standard joist hangers. The joist hangers
require horizontal bearing. Add wood shims and glue the shims with full contact surface
carpenter's wood glue.
2. Photo 002: Sloping `I' joist rafters bear on a horizontal LVL beam. Add a beveled
2 x4 plate to improve the `I' joist bearing and nail the 2 x4 with 16d nails at 8" O.C.

HGA-10 angle (Simpson Strong Tie, Co.) each side post.

glued and nailed web stiffener: Stiffener to be 7/16" thick x full web height x 4" glued
with carpenter's full contact glue + (3) — 16d nails. Attach `I' joist to LVL hip with
skewable LS-90 framing angle (Simpson, Strong Tie, Co.).

framing plate (Simpson Strong Tie, Co.) to attach butted rafters to one another.
6. Photo 008: LVL hip frames to ridge beam and post. Improve the hip bearing
connection with the installation of (2) — HGA-10 angles. Seat -cut hip at bearing points
and attach (1) — HGA-10 to ridge beam, and (1) to post.
7. Over -framing studs at north end of wing. Provide (1) additional row of horizontal
bracing so that all studs are braced.
