Resolution is as follows: <br /> 1. Regarding the blocking,this was in the original letter dated May 1, item#9: "Provide blocking per R602.7.2 and <br /> R602.8." While this was missed in adding redlines to the drawings, it still applies. Here's a link to that code <br /> section: https://up.codes/viewer/washington/wa-residential-code-2021/chapter/3/building-planning#R302.11 <br /> 2. Regarding the header, I'm sorry we didn't review that in more detail, but the drawing I attached for the portal <br /> frame does show the header to be continuous across the entire wall. However,the lateral bracing can be <br /> provided in another way. Inspector Rakeeb told me you have 3 feet of wing wall on either side of the new door <br /> opening. Therefore, a CS-PF Portal frame is not required, and you can keep your header. Instead,you have <br /> provided a 3'-0" CS-G per table R602.10.3(1),which meets and exceeds the requirement for this wall bracing <br /> line. <br /> 3. Staples were used for the structural wall panels. The drawing redlines indicated "6-8D or 16GA 7/16" Crown <br /> Galt'". This is sufficient for non-structural sheathing. For WSP fasteners,Table R602.3(3) states that for 3/8" <br /> structural panels, 6d common are required. Please supplement your work by adding these nails at 6" OC per the <br /> Table on the CS-WSP and CS-G. <br />
