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%" 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 am attaching a redlined structural plan (53.0) showing the location of the two issues, and photos depicting the current <br /> conditions at Beam 1 and at the 6x6 post. <br /> We would like your feedback and recommendations regarding the two issues and if any remediation is required. If you <br /> would like to talk to Gary directly, he can be reached at 612-210-2286. <br /> Thanks for your help, <br /> Laurel <br /> Laurel Ulland Architecture <br /> � A <br /> www.laurelultand.com <br /> 1718 Logan Ave South <br /> Minneapolis, MN 55403 <br /> 612 377 5984 � m <br /> Laurel Ulland <br /> laurel@laurelulland.com �e <br /> From: David C.Johnson [mailto:Dlohnson@vaaeng.com] <br /> Sent: Friday,July 14, 2017 2:44 PM <br /> 1 <br />
