Dear Mr. Avolt:
As you requested, I inspected the brick on the outside comer to the left of the garagc on this
new home. The framing of the house resulted in the brick on this short 2-toot wdll
overhanging the foundation by about 2 Y. inches. This wau supports only the comer of the
roof above the garage.
An overhang of more than 1 inch exceeds the allowable for corbelling in the Indiana
Residential Cod". To assure adequate support for th" brick on this short wall, I recomm"nd a
steel shelf angle be anchorcd to the foundation walL I recommend that a 4 x 2 x 5/16 anglc be
anehored with two, 318" anchors, about 4 inches from each end.
in my opinion, the added support of the angle will pro,ide a satisfactory solution to this
siluation.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
