AA 9369/ Jason Amundson, President Minnesota Insurance Restoration Services 21021 Heron Way, #109 Lakeville, MN 55044 jam undson(iOr m-estoration.co m 952.953.2016 RE: 4647 Pinetree Curve Dear Mr. Amundson: Per your request, I met you at 4647 Pinetree Curve in Eagan, MN where we met the homeowner to observe and discuss the lightening strike damage to the roof of their single family home. A single roof truss was damaged. I provided you with an engineered repair based on the available information and photograph. However, when you removed roofing materials to make the repair, you found the damage to the single truss to be more extensive and extended the repaired area. The original repair called for a single side OSB gusset to capture the damaged top gusset and extend along the damaged top chord. You installed this repair. You also found that the top chord was damaged for a greater distance along its length and you applied a 2X4 on the opposite side of the engineered truss repair and nailed it with the nailing pattern specified for the OSB gusset repair. The lumber repair extended at least 30" beyond the second gusset. This supplement to my original fix is acceptable and the roof truss is repaired.
