Job #876) <br /> <br />Dear Kenny: <br /> <br />At your request, I visited the above stated project to inspect tho <br />framing of the exterior walls and roof systems. Based upon my <br />inspection, the following items need clarification; <br /> <br />1) The 4" X 4" post and 2" X 12" beaJns on the front entry are not <br />required and can be eliminated. _' <br />2) At openings 5''''0'' wide and larger, the header beam shall be <br />strapped to the supporting double cripple studs with (2) Hughes <br />"RT1618" rafter tJ.es at each end of the beam. Anchor the <br />bottom of the studs to the concrete slab with a Hughes "AD2B" <br />anchor down. Openings that are le88 than 5"-0" wide do not <br />need any connectors (the uplift forcG8 are transferred through <br />the plywood sheathing and the Sheathing nail pattern). <br />3) The balloon framing on the gable ends can be replaced by <br />braCing the bottom truss chord to top of wall interface <br />(ceiling plane ) with 2 fl X 411 rat runners 8 I -0 II long placed at <br />81-0" o.c. along the gable. Both the vertical members in the <br />gable end truss and the 2" x 4" rat runners should be <br />reinforced by nailing a 2" X 4" stiffener along the members. <br />Nail stiffeners with lOd nails spaced at 4" c.c. <br /> <br />921 Shadow Drive - Suite # 1 0 - Lakeland, Florida 33809 <br />Phone: 813-853-2711 Fax; 813-853-8593 <br /> <br />.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> <br />CERTIFIED FOUNDATIONS TEL:813-859-3889 <br /> <br />tv1al:J 08,95 <br /> <br />14:37 No.002 P.03 <br />
