It does�ot appear that any significant areas of new grout or boufders were placed beneath new or existing framing therefore the need for new treated wood plates and anchocs is not required and the observed work in this area doss appear to be acceptabie.

The wall area appears to have been repaired adequately. A hatch was not provided at ihis location since you were concemed that existing pipes under the existiFlg kitche�area may freeze if you completely closes off the crawE space area with a hatch. It appears that this would be acceptable with the given concems of how this may affect the existing conditions of the house. Continued on next page,,,,,
