Fieldstone Family Homes requested that Ulteig review the presence of holes cut through floor joists of
the single family residence located at 571 Caylin Court in Eagan, MN.
Holes were cut through both a single and a double 2x10 floor joist to accommodate a plumbing run.
Larger 3 -3/4" diameter holes are drilled through each joist in the middle third of their spans.
Approximately 4' long 3/4" plywood gusset panels were nailed to each side of each joist centered on
the larger hole locations. A smaller less than 2" diameter hole is drilled through the double joist
toward the end of the plywood gussets. A photo of this condition along with an indicated location on
the plan are shown on the following page.
Upon review, Ulteig has determined that the current plywood gusset fix is structurally adequate.
No further corrective measures are required.
