Your plan notes that you will <br /> be sheathing the entire exterior of the building with OSB permitting the use of Table R60210.4 Continuous <br /> Sheathing Methods,CS-WSP and CS-PF. Please note IRC Figure R602.10.8(1)Braced Wall Panel ...to Floor/Ceiling <br /> Framing connection requirements for the continuous method. <br /> The altached sheet,BP1,indicates the locations of braced wall segments for the garage elevation on the main level of this <br /> house and the location of portal frames. See Detail S l. <br /> You asked me to comment on the tall wall framing at the stairwell. Frame the tall wall at the stairwell with 2X6#2 SPF at <br /> 16"OC. Use a minimum of(2)2x6#2 SPF between each window at the upper IeveL You may support the headers above <br /> those windows with inverted flange hangers installed to the sides of the double studs. Use Simpson Part#MUSC28 or <br /> HUSC28(or equal) for double 2X10 header. <br /> You also asked that I review the tall wall at the sport court.Frame these walls with(2)2X6s#2 SPF @ 12"centers. <br /> A basic assumption of IRC bracing is that the rest of the structure is properly constructed and con�ected per the appropriate <br /> section of the code. <br /> The information and opinions contained herein are based upon the limited investigatio�described at the beginning of this <br /> report.
