For the LVL beam, glue a 3/" diameter wood dowel in each of the holes. Use a good construction/wood glue, like <br /> Liquid Nails or Gorilla Glue. <br /> 2. For the 6x6 post condition, provide a 3/4" wide by 1'-6" long by 14 gage strap on the near and far side of the <br /> hole. (4 straps total). Attach the strap to the framing with (4)Simpson %" diameter x 3" long SDS screws per <br /> strap side. (32 total). From the pictures it appears that there is an orange stud adjacent to the 6x6 post. Nail the <br /> stud to the post with 12d nails at 12" o.c. The straps can be attached to the stud on that side. <br /> Dave Johnson,P.E. �Associate/Senior Structural Engineer�O�ce:763.577-9115,Cell:763-486-2945�dlohnson@vaaenq.com � <br /> www.vaaenq.com �Engineering,Planning and Design Services <br /> � � <br /> / <br /> From: Laurel Ulland [mailto:Laurel@laurelulland.com] <br /> Sent:Thursday, March 01, 2018 2:15 PM <br /> To: David C.Johnson <DJohnson@vaaeng.com> <br /> Cc:gsmeichels@hotmail.com; Bryan Meyer(bryanmeyerarchitect@gmail.com)<bryanmeyerarchitect@gmail.com> <br /> Subject: RE: Martha Head Lake Residence <br /> Hi Dave, <br /> I received a call from Gary Meichels today regarding the framing inspection at the Head lake residence.The inspector <br /> has two concerns: <br /> • There are a number of staggered 3/" diameter holes in Beam 1 at the opening between the kitchen and living <br /> room on the main level.This beam is composed of(3) 16" LVLs. Because the LVLs were bowed at installation, <br /> Gary's framing crew bolted the three LVL's together to straighten them out, using 5/8" bolts and washers.The <br /> bolts have now been removed to allow for drywall installation.The framing crew has installed GRK rugged <br /> structural screws in place of the bolts,set flush with the face of the beam.The inspector wonders if the bolt <br /> holes have compromised the beam. Gary is willing to drive 3/<" steel rod into the bolt holes, if necessary. <br /> • In order to install a drain line to the kitchen sink, Gary drilled a 2 %" diameter hole through the center of the 6x6 <br /> post, located to the east of the kitchen windows.Again, the inspector wonders if the 6x6 post has been <br /> compromised. <br /> i <br />
