I have been to the jobsite several times to observe construction at various stages and I am satisfied that it has been completed to my intent and satisfaction. There were 4 key areas modified. You removed all of the walls in the main level full bath and relocated the door. The bath floors were releveled and continuous floor framing was restored. You are also modified an alcove in the kitchen to accommodate a new refrigerator. The loadpath to the foundation was clearly established with new framing in the floor. You removed the wall between the new dining area and the stairwell. A header was installed and the loadpath to the foundation confirmed. The ceiling of the sunken living room adjacent to the kitchen had a semi- flush beam that spanned 27' with 2 intermediate supports. With my instructions, you removed the existing beam and installed a new flush steel beam spanning the entire 27'. The beam sits on an existing exterior foundation bearing and a new steel column and footing. = Voigt & Associates, Inc. STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING SERVICES ' 4635 NICOLS RD.

This house is a large hand framed structure. At the time of my observation, much of the demolition work had been done but h some of the finish materials were still in place. The foundation level of the house is completely unfinished. You noted 4 key areas where changes were plannedr You want to remove all of the walls in the main level full bath and relocate the Dors. Based on my observations of the framing above the room in the ysy attic space and the lack of special framing in the main floor to accommodate heavy loads, you may remove all walls in the bath and relocate the dpr with the following exce ' . There is a 5 stud column in the west wall of the room. Do not, remove this framing. Avoid this ocation for your y z new doorway. There is a dip in the floor beneath the 'z 5 studs due to two discontinuous floor joists directly below the column. These joists were modified and headed off sometime in the past. Locally shore the floor and remove the existing blocking. Inst - 9_= d 1/4" LVLs alongside the full length of the two existing cut joists. Laminate them to the existing -'v - joists with construction adhesive and 3"X .131 . spaced 3" OC staggered. You are also modifying an alcove in the kitchen to accommodate a new refrigerator. This will require heading offa wall that appears to be a bearing wall with 2- 11-7/8 Ls. Voigt & Associates, Inc. STRUCTUR,4L ENGINEERING SERVICES 4635 NICOLS RD.
