Tim,
I was out for a bike ride on Sunday and stopped by the new booth. It looks to be a well designed and constructed
structure. My only comments that might need a review by you involve the attachment of the staircase to the rim joist
on the upper landing and possibly the flashing detail above the windows.
It would appear the rather large lag screws from the metal stairs into the rim joist on the upper landing pulled the rim
joist away from the cantilevered floor joist during the process of tightening the lag screws. I think one could add some
washers between the rim joist and steel to correct the problem or some other attachment detail. Through bolts over
lags any day is a better option if one needs to remove the existing lags. The problem is easy to see if one goes under the
landing and looks up.
The other problem may not be a problem. The flashing over the windows is more of a small gutter. I am not sure how
the flashing will react to freeze thaw or how well the water will drain on the ends.
Thanks for your time with the various Carbondale civic projects you are involved with. Next time they are pouring any
concrete at the rodeo grounds, they should add a sidewalk from the handicap parking to a handicap viewing area
adjacent to the stands. Sorry I did not see it prior to the recent projects.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Andy
