The first inspection was conducted by myself. <br /> I could not get up on thc house so I only looked at the wood shakes <br /> on the garage. I found that most of the shakes stacked on the garaq� <br /> were only 23" long and had feathertips, which made the shakes even <br /> shorter. This observation was made without opening any bundles. A�. <br /> this time, I felt that the shakes did not meet the Uniform Building <br /> Code standards 32-8 , but decided that I would get Loren Kohnen to <br /> look at them for a second opinion. <br /> At about 3 :00 P.M. , Loren Kohnen and myself inet the contractor, Eric <br /> Kallerup at the site . We started with the shakes on the garage by <br /> opening two bundles and visually inspecting the shakes on the outside <br /> of the remaining bundles; then we went up on the roof of the house <br /> and checked the bundles of shakes. We, again, opened two bundles� <br /> and visually inspected the outsides of the remaining bundles. <br /> The inspection revealed the following: <br /> 1. 24 " wood shakes were to be used. A lot of them were only 23" lona <br /> UBC standard 32-8 allows a minus tolerance of 1/2 inch <br />
