Predrill the scab if necessary <br />��,� , to prc��ent splitling. '1'he othcr notched (loor joist is abovc the garage in Unit `C'. Please <br />U find auachcd calculntion datcd 5-24-07 shmving this notch is acccptable with no remedy. <br />Regarding your note to strap the top of glu-lam beams in all units to thc lop plates, 1 <br />mn hcrcby instructing the Contractor not to. (avoiding unnccessary nailing and possiblc <br />splitting in thc tor platcs). All thcsc bcams will he securcd in placc by the wall framing <br />preventing thc bcam from rotating in addition to thc G W13 cciling holding the top in <br />� placc and thc G11�13 �vall tinish bcing nailcd to thc bcam holding the bottom in placc.
