Regarding: Rob Williams residence 7725- 168`" Place SW Edmonds WA
New bath remodel on 2°`' floor that involves a new door to be placed in a current wall designated a SW-2
per the original plans dated 3-24-2000.
Current wall is 8 feet long and extends from the floor with a double joist, up to a rafter in the attic above.
The proposed plan calls for a new door at one end of this shear wall thus shortening it by 2 feet. We plan
to upgrade the remaining 6 feet of wall to carry the lateral load.
Current wall: good for 436 PLF
1/2" GWB each side with Sd cooler nails.
Proposed wall: good for 672 PLF
One side 15/32" CDX plywood sheathing, or 7/16" OSB nailed 8d at 6"oc edges 12" oc field.
Block all panel edges.
Current load 8 ft x 436 PLF = 3488#, Proposed load 6 ft x 672 PLF = 4032# OK
Plate nailing: 16d at 8" oc is Existing. No change needed.
Top plate to rafter connection: A35 @ 12" oc Existing. No change needed
