Shields Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado Advanced Engineering, LLC Project Number 3185-01-OID Dear Ms. Gulley: LLC CRAFTING On April 10, 2019 we visually observed the foundation wall reinforcing placed in the forms for the residence being constructed at the above referenced site. It is our opinion the reinforcement was in general conformance with our Foundation Plan, Project Number 3185-01-0IA. We also observed the UFER ground rod was embedded in the concrete approximately Feast of the retaining wall at the northeast corner of the foundation. The conclusions presented in this letter are not intended to cover structural items other than those listed, site grading/elevations, setbacks, subsurface soil conditions, or architectural features of the building. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you, feel free to call if you have any questions. Sincerely, Advanced Engineering, Jason E. Baker, P.E. REG•,.q��i E.

The adjustable steel columns do not need to be welded to the bottom flange of the steel beam if the tabs are fully bent around the flange on each side. 2. The greenhouse framing should conform to the framing specifications shown on the plan including headers, trim studs, king studs, and sheathing. 3. The holdown strap to the left of the overhead door at the shop is not needed if the end stud next to the tall concrete retaining wall is attached to the concrete wall with three or more bolts and if the sill plate below has two or more anchor bolts. 4. The wall that is between the house and the garage/shop may be framed with 2x4 studs as shown in the architectural plans, provided a minimum of four studs are placed below each of the girder trusses. The recommendations and conclusions presented in this letter are not intended to cover structural items other than those listed, site grading/elevations, setbacks, subsurface soil conditions, or architectural features of the building. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you. If you have any questions, please feel free to call. �\\�„�uwlllurnrr�r Sincerely, \�,o`POO RG °>� c Advanced Enginee'`rin ,� • �, 739 • I, Jason E.

Shields St.), Fort Collins, Colorado Advanced Engineering, LLC Project Number 3185-01-01G Dear Ms. Gulley: On August 7, 2019 we visually observed portions of the exterior perimeter drain and damp proofing (at a test pit) for the residence being constructed at the above referenced site. On August 12, 2019 we reviewed photographs of the exterior perimeter drain and damp proofing taken during installation. It is our opinion the perimeter drain appears to be in general conformance with the soils report by Earth Engineering Company, Project Number 18-01-066, dated May 22, 2018. The conclusions presented in this letter arc not intended to cover items other than those listed, site grading/elevations, setbacks, subsurface soil conditions, structural, or architectural features of the building.

Beth Gulley (bethgaulleygreenhouse.com) 726 Laporte Avenue Fort Collins, CO 80521 Re: Caisson Observation Proposed Gulley Residence Parcel #9610400006 Larimer County, Colorado EEC Project No. 18-01-066 (Ms. Gulley: As you requested, on April 41h, 2019, Earth Engineering Company, Inc. (EEC) personnel provided construction observation services for the referenced project. On that date, drilled pier foundations were being constructed for the referenced single-family residence. Construction observation services were provided by EEC personnel on a part-time basis and included observations of the pier drilling operation and observation of pier steel reinforcement. Results of the field observations completed by EEC personnel during the referenced period are included with this report. On April 4th, 2019, EEC personnel observed the drilling operations for the caisson foundations. Items observed by EEC personnel included plumbness of the drilled shafts, stratification of soils and bedrock encountered, caisson length, cleanliness of the bearing surface and difficulties encountered during excavation. The materials encountered in the pier borings observed in the garage and crawlspace consisted of greylbrown and rust claystone bedrock at the base of the excavation which extended to the depths explored. The piers were drilled a minimum of 28 feet in length with a minimum penetration of 16 feet into bedrock. The pier hole bottoms appeared relatively clean with water infiltration observed in some of the piers at the time of our observations. The drilled shafts observed appeared plumb, were approximately 12 inches in diameter and extended to a depth of approximately 28 feet below the garage and crawlspace excavation levels at various locations. At the time of our observations, three #5 bars were being placed in the piers and the placement of concrete was not observed. The observed pier excavations appeared to be in general accordance with the construction plans prepared by Advanced Engineering, LLC; dated October 23, 2018. P.O.
