Your plan notes that you will be sheathing the entire <br /> exterior of the building with OSB (method 3)permitting the use of R602.10.5 Continuous wood structural panel <br /> sheathing. Please note IRC Figure R602.10.5 Typical Exterior Corner Nailing....Stud to Stud Nailing required for the <br /> continuous method. The continuous method pern�its effective wall lengths as short as 27"for a 9' ceiling adjacent to a <br /> window opening. <br /> The attached sheet, BP 1,indicates the locations of braced wall segments for the front elevation of the garage on the main <br /> level of this house and the location of por�al frames. See Detail S 1. <br /> Additionally,per your request,I examined the stairwell wall on the plan you sent to me for the home at the above address. <br /> See Detail Tl. <br /> A basic assumption of IRC bracing is that the rest of the structure is properly constructed and connected per the appropriate <br /> section of the code. <br /> The information and opinions contained herein are based upon the limited investigation described at the beginning of this <br /> repor�.No warranties are expressed or implied regarding the existence of other unknown conditions not specifically <br /> addressed.Our work is in aecordance with generally accepted engineering standards and is not intended to be relied upon or <br /> transferred to individuals other than the addressee.
