While on -site, the existing framing <br />was visually evaluated and appeared to consist of manufactured trusses supported by the exterior walls. Based on <br />previous experience with similar structures, it is our opinion that none of the interior walls are load bearing except for <br />the wall noted on sheet SK-1, which appears to be directly beneath and runs parallel to a non -load bearing gable end <br />truss. <br />It is acceptable to remove a portion of the existing bearing wall (as shown on the attached sheet SK-1) provided that the <br />existing truss is reinforced to span across the removed portion of wall. Sister (2)13/4" x 71/4" 1.8E (2200Fb) LVL's to <br />the existing truss bottom chord, (1) LVL each side of the truss. Fasten each LVL to the existing truss bottom chord using <br />1/4" diameter x 4.5" Simpson SDS screws @ 6" oc, with 2" edge distances. Refer to sheet SK-2 for additional <br />information. <br />11812022 <br />DISCLAIMER <br />This recommendation is the professional opinion of CG Engineering PLLC based on the information provided.
