I reviewed the pictures and my calculations and came up with the following fixes: (The Building Official is correct
regarding a concern for both conditions)
1. For the LVL beam, glue a 3/" diameter wood dowel in each of the holes. Use a good construction/wood glue, like
Liquid Nails or Gorilla Glue.
2. For the 6x6 post condition, provide a 3/4" wide by 1'-6" long by 14 gage strap on the near and far side of the
hole. (4 straps total). Attach the strap to the framing with (4)Simpson %" diameter x 3" long SDS screws per
strap side. (32 total). From the pictures it appears that there is an orange stud adjacent to the 6x6 post. Nail the
stud to the post with 12d nails at 12" o.c. The straps can be attached to the stud on that side.

Hi Dave,
I received a call from Gary Meichels today regarding the framing inspection at the Head lake residence.The inspector
has two concerns:
• There are a number of staggered 3/" diameter holes in Beam 1 at the opening between the kitchen and living
room on the main level.This beam is composed of(3) 16" LVLs. Because the LVLs were bowed at installation,
Gary's framing crew bolted the three LVL's together to straighten them out, using 5/8" bolts and washers.The
bolts have now been removed to allow for drywall installation.The framing crew has installed GRK rugged
structural screws in place of the bolts,set flush with the face of the beam.The inspector wonders if the bolt
holes have compromised the beam. Gary is willing to drive 3/<" steel rod into the bolt holes, if necessary.
• In order to install a drain line to the kitchen sink, Gary drilled a 2 %" diameter hole through the center of the 6x6
post, located to the east of the kitchen windows.Again, the inspector wonders if the 6x6 post has been
compromised.

post, located to the east of the kitchen windows. Again, the inspector wonders if the 6x6 post has been
compromised.
I am attaching a redlined structural plan (53.0) showing the location of the two issues, and photos depicting the current
conditions at Beam 1 and at the 6x6 post.
We would like your feedback and recommendations regarding the two issues and if any remediation is required. If you
would like to talk to Gary directly, he can be reached at 612-210-2286.
Thanks for your help,
Laurel
