Fossatti Pawlak conducted a site visit at your request to 907 Dayton St, Edmonds, WA on Sunday April
28, 2019. The purpose of the site visit was to investigate the I" floor framing at the kitchen. The kitchen
floor is constructed of 2x10 floor joists at 16" on center, spanning approximately 15'-0". A 4x12 beam
was placed approximately 1'-0" off the midspan point of the joists. The 412 bears at the south retaining
wall and the intermediate retaining wall, and cantilevers approximately 7'-0" past the intermediate
retaining. The 4x while not necessary, was most likely placed during initial construction as a header for
the opening in the storage space and run long to pick up the floor joists supporting the kitchen island.
Observation of the 4x shows that only the joist at the tip of the cantilever is bearing on the 4x, and all
other joists on the cantilever portion of the 4x have a gap between the joists and the top of the beam.
Fossatti Pawlak observed that all floor framing of the house was 2x10 joists at 16"oc, spanning
approximately 15'-0" in the east to west direction. The 2x10 joists are supported by bearing walls or
beams depending on the location in the house. The house is constructed as a series of three offset 15'-
0" wide boxes with the framing repeating throughout.
The 2x10 joists are adequate to carry the existing dead load of 15psf and live load of 40psf.
If you have any questions, please call.
