Dear Mr. Yoder:
On March 4, 1994, and engineer from Empire Laboratories, Inc.
visited the above -referenced site as requested. The purpose of
this visit was to render an opinion based upon visual observations
regarding the feasibility of placing new basement windows on the
north and south walls of the foundation.
It is our understanding that 1-41x4f basement window is to be cut
in the location of an exising 37 inch wide by 21 inch tall basement
window on the north basement wall near the northwest corner. It is
recommended that one steel angle 32 x 32 x Ott be placed across the
top of the opening to support the loads above. The angle should
bear on the concrete, each side of the window opening or on a 2x4
each side of the opening. We also understand that a 32 inch tall
by 5 foot, 4 inch wide window is to be placed on the south basement
wall in the location of an existing window which measures 37 inches
wide by 27 inches tall. The basement wall at this point has an 18
inch ledge 36 inches below the floor system. It is our
understanding the window is to be placed above this 18 inch ledge.
It is recommended that two steel angles 3zx3Zx4 be placed over the
approximate 5 foot 4 inch wide opening. The angle should bear on
the concrete foundation each side of the opening or on a 2x8 placed
on each side of the opening. If you have any questions please
contact us.
