RE: Whitman Studio Two Site Observation of Existing Conditions, Garfield County,
CO
Dear Chris:
Per your request, I reviewed the framing questions from the building inspector. I also
came to the site to visually observe the areas in question.
Item 1: The (3) ply 16” ML beam shall have a fourth 16” ML glued & screwed to
the existing (3) ply. The 4th ply may stop short of the wall on the north end & the steel
boot on the south side. This will be acceptable.
Item 2: The north wall in the mechanical area was modified by removal of the
window shown on the design drawings. The doubled up rafters which frame the
skylights bear directly on the double top plates of the wall. This is acceptable as
framed.
Item 3: The ledger for the rafters over the mechanical room were drilled for
electrical and plumbing holes. The holes are acceptable as located as the loads are
transmitted directly to the studs below the rafters.
Please let me know if you have additional questions.
Sincerely,
Dale D. Kaup P.E.
