Your plan notes that you <br /> will be sheathing the entire exterior of the building with OSB permitting the use of Table N6U2.10.4 Continuous Sheathing <br /> Methods, CS-��SY and CS-PFH. <br /> Please notc IRC Fi�ures R603.10.8(1)and R60210.8(2) Braced Wall Panel ...to Floor/Ceiling Framing connection <br /> requiremenls t�or the continuou� method (attachecl). <br /> The attached sheet,BP1,indicates the locations of braced wall segments for the front elevation of the main level of this house <br /> and the location of portal frames. See Detail S 1. Note that many of the braced wall segmen[locations may be moved to <br /> accommodate unforeseen wall and plate perforations. If you find that you must move a braced wall segment more than 2 feet <br /> from its indicated location,please call. <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 T 1. <br /> You also asked that I review the tall wall at the sport court.Frame the exterior walls of the sport cour[indicated on your <br /> Lower Floor Plan as walkout with(2)2X6s#2 SPF @ 12"centers,the exterior walls indicated as Look Out with(1)2X6#2 <br /> SPF @ 12"centers and the wall indicated as Full Height with(1)2X6#2 SPF @ 16"centers. <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. There is a notable requirement in IRC Table R602.3(1),Fastening Schedule for Structural Members for <br /> braced wall lines. It notes that the connection at the Sole plate to joist or joist blocking at braced wall panels be 3- l6d nails <br /> every 16"oc. <br /> The information and opinions contained herein are based upon the limited investigation described at the beginning of this <br /> report.No warranties are expressed or implied regarding the existence of other unknown conditions not specifically <br /> addressed.
