The purpose for the inspection was to review the roof framing modifications, <br /> es�ecialiy in ihe master be�iruom�uile; family rr�ortY and living roorn alor�g the lakeside <br /> of the house. The existing roof framing in these areas was significantly modified in <br /> " order to create raised flat vaulted ceilings. <br /> The roof framing modifications generally involved cutting the existing 2x6 ceiling joist <br /> members and installing new multiplel-3/4"x 11-7/8"LVL beams along the center <br /> corridor bearing wall of the house and around the perimeter soffit areas. To replace the <br /> restraining force for the hand-framed roof rafter framing originally provided.by the 2x6 <br /> ceiling joists, the existing 2x6 roof rafters were braced with new diagona12x4 kickers <br /> � to the new LVL support beams along the corridor bearing wall. <br /> Based on my calculations, the roof framing modifications as described in the above <br /> areas are adequate for all dead loads, snow loads and ti.ind loads as required by the <br /> building code.A[I of the framing inspected was satisfactorily completed <br /> Additional structural work to be completed as noted below: <br /> - install a minimum of 3-2x4 or 2x6.stud posts in the existing ba.rement bearing wall <br /> below all new L�L bearing post locations on the main level. The new bearing studs <br /> and all new blocking in the floor joist space must align on both levels in order to <br /> properly transfer the conce.ntrated loads to the foundation and footing. <br /> - the new WIO steel beam installed in the basement ceiling to support the main floor <br /> �ran�ing requires additional bearing at the east end. This can be accomplished by <br /> acfding a 1-3/�"x 9-1/4"LI�L stud to the ace of�the built-up stud wall that <br /> presently bears the steel beam. The additional stud should be fully glued and <br /> nailed to the face of the studs and shou!d bear on a treated plate in contact with <br /> the concrete slab. The west end of the steel beam bears on treated wood blocking <br /> in a masonry wall pocket. The masonry at the steel beam bearing should be core- <br /> filled with 3000 psi concrete. <br /> Please forward a copy of this inspection report to the City of Orono Building Inspections <br /> Department. ��NOUJw�iyyyy <br /> 'p G. y, <br /> ���R......Sj,9 �p,; <br /> End of Memo.. . ��Q•; '•• O � <br /> � m; REGISTERED ':y = <br /> � : PR4FESStO�dAl ; _ <br /> ' EN NEER ; = <br /> � ' �� <br /> . <br /> : � <br /> . <br /> �128 SIB�fY �14MORI�t N16HW�V, MEN�Oi� NE16N15, MN 55118 — fdX: f6Sll 154-5086 OffICE: I6S11 454-9455 — ����'#;6jJ�����f�'�! � ��k6@WOkIOME( AI!
