1.Foundation Plan Clarify the callout for the 4x8 HF #2 beams to be used to support the
loads below the north wall of the Family Room. The west-most beams (with spans noted
as 44 and 40) appear to be over spanned and fail in bending.
2.Foundation Plan Clarify the callout for the 18x18x8 (or 24 dia. Sonotube) isolated
footings supporting the loads below the north wall of the Family Room. The second
through fourth footings from the west appear to be undersized for the anticipated loads.

of Beam GB-1 5-1/8x24 GLB 24F-V4 and the east end of the roof girder truss above.
It appears to be undersized for the anticipated loads.
