See Detail S 1. <br /> Additionally,per your request,I examined the tall wall condition at the left elevation stairwell wall on the plan you sent to <br /> me for the home at the above address. See Detail T1. <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. Please note IRC Figures R602.10.8(1)and R602.10.8(2)Braced Wall Panel ...to Floor/Ceiling <br /> Framing connection requirements for the continuous method(attached). <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.Our work is in accordance with generally accepted engineering standards and is not intended to be relied upon or <br /> transferred to individuals other than the addressee. Should information or conditions become known which differ from the <br /> discussion herein,they may alter the opinions or conclusions of the undersigned. <br /> Please call if you have any questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> P�. � � . <br /> I Hereby Certify That This Plan, Specification,Or Report Was Prepared <br /> By Me Or Under My Direct Supervision And That I Am A Duly <br /> Licensed Engineer Under The Laws Of The State Of Minnesota. <br /> Paul W.Voigt Date 2/3/17 License Number 20705 <br />
