Attachments: —
Gant,
The wood - framed walls that are to be constructed per the structural drawings (including header construction
per detail 10/S3) are as follows:
1. The exterior walls (bearing and non - bearing).
2. Interior bearing walls.
3. Shear walls.
4. Party walls (although I can't think of any openings in the party walls thus there should be no headers).
I would consider the balance of the walls to be partitions, such as closets, pantries, fireplace framing, etc.
These walls can be identified as there will be no foundation support provided. The partitions are non - structural
in nature and need only have positive anchorage to the building framing, such as framing anchors (A35's etc.)
or by nailing per 1997 UBC Table 23- II -B -1 (alternatively use 2003 IBC Table 2304.9.1).
Should there be any questions at all from the framer, quality control, or the local jurisdiction regarding this
matter please phone me at 206 - 285 -4512.

Gant, the city inspector came out today for the frame inspection on bld 7, but did not except the wording of the
engineering letter for the headers. He wants the engineer to specifically say that the headers are acceptable
without trimmers and to ok the use of A35s in lieu of trimmers.
Thanks.
Chris

Criag and Arnie are out of town. Was hoping you could get to this as soon as possible? It's an easy one. Your
help would be greatly appreciated!
