The review assumed minimum interior header sizes of <br />(3) 2 X10 and exterior sizes of (2) 2 x 10. Frame walis are assumed to be <br />a minimum of 2 x 4's @ 16* on center for the garage waiis and either 2 x <br />4*8 at 16* on center or 2 x 6 ’s at 24* on center for the house wails. <br />Special header and bearing conditions, such as the extension of the <br />fireplace and the garage door headers, will require additional review once <br />the exact structural layout is complete. This review can be performed <br />during either the design or construction phase of the addition. <br />PROFESSIONAL OPINION <br />4. It is my professional opinion that <br />f a. The overall construction is in sound condition. V <br />/ b. The existing footings, foundation walls, and wood framing are stmcturally 1 <br />1 adequate to support the design loads of the proposed addition. I <br />V c. The proposed addition to this residence is feasible and can be consbucted.^ <br />GENERAL <br />5.The information, observations, and opinions stated in this report are based on an <br />inspection made by Craig Oswell. The inspection consisted of a visual walk­ <br />through observing exposed elements and those accessible without the removal of <br />finished materials. <br />6.The opinions expressed in this report are based on my professional engineering <br />Judgment and professional practice, as well as bie visual inspection. <br />7. <br />8. <br />No other engineering was performed or requested for this project. <br />This report is a feasibility study for the addition of 3 second floor. The final details <br />of construction will be addressed at a later date. If the observations of this report <br />are found to vary from the actual conditions, please notify UEI for review and <br />comment. <br />9.Once available, please forward UEI a copy < A the final construction documents for <br />further review and comment as required. <br />10. If further engineering assistance is required, please contact UEI.
