Masonry wall Reinforcing:
Dan prior to this meeting discussed masonry wall reinforcing with the masonry sub-contractor; placement of reinforcing has been inconsistent, and is suspect at all locations 1st floor walls, and 2nd floor lots 20 through 26 and lots 5 through 7.
Dan reports "John" his assistant observed reinforcement placement at walls lots 3 to 2, and 4 to 3, and will be onsite to observe reinforcement placement for all subsequent walls.
To provide additional lateral support for masonry walls, the epoxy anchor bolts required in the permit set to secure framing to masonry will be extended where possible and installed as through bolts with oversize galvanized fender bolts on the wall exterior.
