<br />/~ <br /> <br />ARKA Y ENGINEERING, <br />structural <br /> <br />INc. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />engIneers <br /> <br />August 23, 1996 <br /> <br />Bozetech - Steve Bozeman <br />17804-B Jamestown Way <br />Lutz, Florida 33549 <br /> <br />Re: Duplex Building - Arkay Engineering, Inc. Job #1280 <br /> <br />Dear Steve: <br /> <br />This letter is to inform you that I recently visited the above <br />stated project to inspect some wall penetrations in the block <br />firewall, anchor bolt installation on gable & firewall walls and <br />scissor truss to gable truss connections. <br /> <br />The first item is the firewall penetrations; there are some <br />plumbing vent pipes in the firewall cavities. All of the block <br />cavities with the vent pipes have been poured solid with 2500 psi <br />concrete which in my opinion is acceptable. <br /> <br />Next, some of the anchor bolts placed in the top of the block <br />gable and firewalls were installed too deep into the poured top <br />course, this caused the carpenter to install some nuts recessed <br />into the bolted top plate. This is structurally acceptable as <br />installed. <br /> <br />Lastly, portions of the gable end wall trusses were installed with <br />2-16d nails through nailed into the ends of the scissor trusses <br />above the kitchen/breakfast nook area. The scissor trusses have <br />been properly anchored to the block wall with hurricane straps and <br />the gable truss connection is structurally adequate. <br /> <br />If you have any questions or require any further assistance with <br />this matter, please contact my office. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />~~~n~ering, <br />~~~ L.~eY, <br /> <br />President KjdE <br /> <br />Inc. <br /> <br />P.E. <br /> <br />Florida License #PE 0037296 <br /> <br />921 Shadow Drive - Suite # 10 - Lakeland, Florida 33809 <br />Phone: 941-853-2711 Fax: 941-853-8593 <br />
