SPRING RUN ESTATES
CARMEL, INDIANA
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to certify that I Harold Sark, a Licensed Architect in the State of Indiana
have personally inspected the Hearth Room construction at the newly constructed
residence mentioned above.
More specifically I observed the following all in the framing stage:
I. A IT .0" wide by 11'.8 \1," long room with 9' .0" high 2"x 6" at 16" o.c. exterior
walls.
2. A cathedral ceiling with 2"xI2" rafters.
3. A triple I 'j,," x 14" LVL ridge beam running the full length of the room (11'-8 \1,"
clear span) and posted at each end in a manner sufficient to transfer loading to the
foundation (see figures #1, 2, 3). This ridge beam supports the Hearth Room roof
system and prevents movement in the side walls.
4. Two "decorative" cedar trusses with decorative black steel plate connections and
lag bolts were in place (see attached figures #4 & 5). Said trusses are purely for
decoration and have no structural intent. The trusses are lag bolted to the side
walls and along the roof rafters and at the ridge.
After observing the above, it is my opinion that the structural framing system and load
transfer for the above mentioned area is properly constructed and positioned and meets
all acceptable construction standards.
Sincerely;
\,"lUlI"",/
