Rich,

Can we proceed=with the geotechnical report to be performed to =etermine if the stemware (see below for definition) foundat=on is settling causing current and future issues cost is $1,990 by Nutting Engineers and =fter this test Fatih Acikgoz, the consulting engineer can make his =A0recommendations and Dan can then draft a proposal and timeline for your =pproval. Outline of Nutting Engineers proposal is below.

Pleas= note:
Seawall and other proposals t= follow in a separate email

Best,
Leighton

Leighton,

Fahti =he structural engineer upon further investigation has inspected the crawl =pace between the 1st and 2nd floor. It appears looking from the garage =A0access scuttle hole, the floor system is composed 2x12x 22 Lf. =A0wood rafters at 16" O.C. , then a layer of 1x6 decking above, =n top of that a 2 ft tall open web floor joist system with 3/4 i=ch plywood subfloor above. This configuration does not allow t= see the open web floor joists from the garage scuddle hole where the bath=oom plumbing and structural issue is located.

He is suggesting an T shaped I beam system to be installed =idspan in the garage ceiling to support the load of the 2 bedrooms and =A0bathrooms.

He is also reques=ing a geotechnical report to be performed to determine if the stemwall fou=dation is settling causing current and future issues.

I have contacted Nutting Geotechnical Engineeri=g and they confirmed this is a common issue with most houses in this =mmediate area due to the soil composition. Nutting Engineering has q=oted $1,900.00 for soil borings at each corner of the hous=. This will allow Fatih to produce a structural evaluation=for the property.

Please discuss with Mr. Epstein and let us k=ow how you would like us to proceed.

Thank you,

Dan

## Stem walls definition

Stem wal=s are supporting structures that are used as a means of joining the founda=ion of a building with the vertical walls constructed on the foundation. T=e wall is often constructed with the use of concrete and steel, and works =ith the foundational slab to create a solid basis for the building. Along =ith establishing foundational integrity for the building, these walls also=aid in minimizing damage to the materials used to create the vertical wall=.

cinder blocks <http://ww=.wisegeek.org/what-are-cinder-blocks.htm> that are rein=orced with the use of steel components and concrete. In appearance, this w=ll sits on top of the slab and effectively provides builders with somethin= to attach the walls of the structure to the slab.

While the slab may be at =round level or even recessed slightly into the surrounding ground, the ste= wall rises above the surrounding ground level. Along with making it easie= to attach vertical walls to the slab, the wall provides a raised platform=for the walls. This can be important, especially if the materials used in =reating the vertical walls are subject to deterioration from exposure to g=ound moisture or insects such as termites. By lifting the walls of the str=cture slightly above ground level, damage of this type is less likely to o=cur.
