RE: Clarification of Shed Base for Jerry Calhoun's Accessory Building

Tuff Shed Project 480- 617434
McGinnis & Associates Job #18339
Dear Mr. Kling,
The following comments are regarding plans provided by McGinnis and Associates for the above
referenced project dated September 9 2010. From my understanding, the shed base was constructed with joists
running the 20' length of the building rather than side to side with a 10' length as indicated on A2 of the plans.
Because the grades were out of level, the shed base was constructed with blocking as indicated on the attached
detail. Spacing of blocking is In accordance with the original specification of detail 3 on sheet A3 of the plans. I
understand that blocks as are elevating the shed a maximum of 12' above grade. You also Indicated that in order
to provide solid bearing, wood shims were used which are pressure treated for ground contact. Shims were
Installed on opposite sides in all cases to provide level bearing. The indicated modifications are acceptable.
If you have any questions or need any further information, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
MCGINNIS AND ASSOCIATES,
