Hey John and Michael,
So I just reviewed the drawings and calculations for this project/area. It looks like we were anticipating that new upgraded shearwall
(W2) was going to be 3'-0" in width. So to put it another way, we were anticipating the outside plywood panel edge to outside panel
edge be around 36" wide. From there you have your shearwall end post/holdown post which take up another 3 1/2" on each side, plus
you got the distance from the HD post to the center of HD...... so center of HD to center of HD would be about = 36" - 3 1/2" - 3 1/2"
1 5/16" - 1 5/16" = 26 3/8" approximately? So you telling me the HD's are 29" apart doesn't worry me really.
The picture John just sent me shows the actual panel width are more like 3 1 " or 32" outside to outside. Even if I use a 31" shearwall
upgrade width we are still within the capacity of a new W2 shearwall upgrade. Also, we are still within the capacity of a HDU5
holdown. I think we are fine here.

Sorry Greg:
Yes, Owens.
I have asked the superintendent, John, to give you a call so he can explain exactly what happened and where.
Thanks,

Michael and John,
Can you tell me what project (I assume Owens Residence) this is regarding and where exactly on said project? Maybe also some
explanation why the shearwall is now only 29". Thanks,

Hi Michael,
Framing inspector is asking for a calculation based on the spread of our hold downs. We are at about 29" between outside of posts. We
basically have them spread as far as possible between the window post and where the foundation steps down about 2'. Had we had the
regular inspector this might not have been an issue, but since he's a fill in....
Anyway, hopefully this is just requires a little recalculation.
Thanks
John
