Dear Mike:
As requested, we designed new structural members for the above referenced project. We have designed the
new members using a floor dead load of 15 psf and a floor live load of 40 psf in accordance with the
Minnesota State Building Code. Our work only includes designing the new members as shown at the above
reference project and is based on drawings provided by you and from our conversations.
Attached are 2 structural sheets with annotated framing notes showing the new members and connections.
All framing shall be shored and temporarily braced as required by the contractor and all minimum nailing
shall be in accordance with IRC Table R602.3(1). Lumber shall be minimum #2 SPF with treated lumber to
be #1 S. Pine. Our calculations assume all lumber is of good quality and does not have large splits and
checks and shall be visually inspected by the contractor at the time of construction. All fasteners in contact
with treated lumber shall be G185 hot dipped galvanized or equal.
The existing framing is assumed to be in good condition and performing adequately. The existing footings
have been assumed to be typical spread footings on good soils that are assumed to be performing
adequately. The contractor shall also verify the condition of structural members and foundations affected by
the remodeling. New finish cracks in existing walls and ceilings are likely and common in remodel
construction.
When installed as indicated above, the new framing members shown on the attached sheets shall support
the loads as required in accordance with the Minnesota State Building Code. If you have any questions or
concerns, please feel free to contact us.
Sincerely,
Bunkers and Associates, LLC
