Based on rlris lnformaEion and my observation of the condltlons andsLrucLural Portions of che buitding exposed co view cluring this inspecEion, I makethe following report and Iinrl ing,s: /;: i\\ , LP'11 l. Descri tion of Conrl itions: wood ramed res i ence, suppo This ls a singie srory conventional Iighr rted on concrete perlmecer foundation walls and fooE i ngs and incerlor pier foot ings. There is a deEached garage tothe north of the residence and a shed roof sEructure aEE.ached to the 8,arag,e aI tlte norIlr. The resldence appears to be constructed of srandard materla Is and worl<manship prevaLenr in rhe area at the tlme ofconst-ructiont which was 35 - 40 years ago. The resldence and garage havean exterior stucco finish on E,he walls and sloped roof surfaces which areroofed wi rh asprha lt composirlon roof ing. The repai r work performed lnvolved removal of porElons of the exterlorstucco aE Llre base where ic adJoins the concrete foundaElon, the removalof the decayed or rleterioraced rim Joists Iraming below che large livingroom windows, the r:emoval of the decayerl tloor Joists under the bath and uc i Ii ty area and replacement with new Joisrs and supporE.ing beams. Italso invoLved repLacemenE of che 4x4 support posts aE the shed roofstructure at the norch end of the garage. some repalr or replacement ofdecayed wood at the roof eave of the girage and some oEher miscellaneousrepair work, al I as indlcated on tlre A-l pest control report andproposal. At the t ime of my inspectlon, tlre repair work was supposed cohave been saEisIactorily compIeced; however, tlre buyer Lxpressedconsiderable dissaLisfaction with rhe performance of rhe work and-the endresulr, wi Eh regard ro sEructural lnadequacy and the final appearance ofthe repaired areasr particularly lhe exterlor stucco and che interlor -2- aster re[)airs at tlre Iiving room winrlows. There was an expresslon of dissatis[action wi th the I loor joist repai rs and an expression thar the buyer harl observerl []rat additlonal scrucrrrral damage to the butIdlng had been done dur:ing the performance of the repair work. This damage was relared to inter:ior walL and cetllng Iinish cracks, which the buyer stated were not present prior to the performance of che work, unevenness in Ehe floor construction and possibly some damage to the roof framlng. 2, Observation oI Ret>air Work:I observed rhe condi t ions interior, exteriori in tlre underfloor area, on the roof shed rooI struct-rtre at.tached aL che norIh end of the observations resulE in rhe followtng flndings: \ a. aE the bullding surface and Ehe ca rpo r t, . These 'l'lre areas where the exterlor sfucco was removed and neu, sEucco lnstalLed have a very poor appearance and do nor match the orlginal sLucco t inish. It is obvious to me that a professlonat pIasIererdid not perIorm thts scucco replacemenc work. The repalred areas had already been painEed with a color: thar does noE match the or- i ginal pa inr ; however, the stucco surface is very irregular and does noL have an even surface. I doubr Ehat iE was a t.hree coaE PorrLand cement plascer appltcatlon, as required by the oregon staEe Buildtng co<le. 'l'he scucco work can be rejected soLeIy based on Ehe [)oor al)pearance. My opinion is chat i r slror,rId not be accepred. The interi or l)lascer repair below tlre living room windows ls very uneven anrl poor appearance. It rloes noE match che adJacent waLl surfaces, either in t.exture, evenness or paint color. In my oplnioniE was noE performed by a professional plasterer and therefore, should not be accepted. The method of scrucrural repalr below the bath and utill Ey areas involved removaL of port.ions of Elre original 3x floor JoisEs,insIalting new 2x Jolsts lapped onco the origlnal Jotsrs and supporting, the new joists from a new beam supporred by posEs and precast concrere pier bLocks. The beam and joists are supported on various pieces of wood, wedges, blocks and instaLled ln a very i rregular manner. It does not. appear tlrat tlre beams, poscs or Joiscsare secureLy nai Ied into place; thereIore, if there ls any movement or wood sl.rrinkage, they would become loose. This movement would Include tlre deIlecttons or lmpact loads on rhe floor above, whlch are to be expecEed. The Oregon Srare Bul Iding Code ''iequlres srructuraI members to be fastened securely inco position. Portions of the floor consrrucr.ion appear Eo have been replacedalong with tlre Jotsr repIacemenr ar the barh and urillty areai however, other port. Ions Ehat. appear to lrave water damage, were noE replaced. It also appeared that some;rrevlous repairs had beenperformed Pri or to the current. rellairs by A-l pesr control;Eherefore, I couLd noc determine the futl status of Ehe repairs;however, the r:epair Job was not cornpleIe nor properLy done. ApparenrLy, clre maln purpose for the removaI of Ehe exE.erlor stuccoat the base oI rhe wood frame construction was because there was decay or insect. damaged wood at the perimeter rim Joists and theends of the 3x Jolsts resElng onto rhe concrete foundatlon. lt apPears that the repair method lnvoLved che removal of the stucco ar b \ ) ) i i l1 i i i I i I : I I , c. d Er" .\,:^ I f. -3- tlre base to a saw cut trorizonfally aI the toP of the removed locations, removaL of fhe rim Joistr cutting lnto tlre botfom of Che fLoor joisC a noEch to receive a 2x6 treaEed wood silL plate' insEalLation oI a new uncreated 2x or 314" plywood rim Joisc and replacemenr oI rhe stucco waIl finish. Treated 4x4 posts were pla ced unde r each Jo i st from the foo r I ng proJect ion, apparent ly to provlde addirional support for the floor Joists, I am not aware of the extenE of wood decay or insect damage, which was present Prior to the performance of the work or how much was detected 1n the ini Eial inspection by A-1 Pest Control. Based on my observatlon of the 3x joisr enrls where chey extenrl towards the concrete foundatlon wall, it is my beIief thar there was very litt[e decay or damage Eo these Joists. My experlence lnrlicates it is not unusual ro have rnoisture nrigral-ion behlnd a stucco wal[ [inish IhaE causes wacer concentrat ion at the base of the wood consrructlon and decay. It al)l)ears tlrat tlre lx fLoor Jolsts were resring direccly on the cop of the concrete foundatlon and there was no sill plare ln the orlgtnal conscruction. I undersEend t.hat the excent of decay of che Jolstends and Elre rim Joisc could only be determined from the underfloor area, since the srucco flnlsh at the exterior was lntact at the Elme oI tlre inspecrion. SampLes of the st.ucco which were removed were stilL present on rhe Job and 1E appears that the stucco, lncluding rhe paperback wire mesh re-lnforcing was in a good condit.lon prlor to removal. I belleve that, the original floor Joiscs have proper support with clre sllI place and tlre 4x1r posc co the footlng. I question thac rhe mechod of repair was the most suitabl.e._for the actuaI buiLding conditlons. I believe that a suicabIe repalr could have been;rerformed wichouE removal oI the exterior stucco and it appeared t.o me rhac t,here was very litLIe damage co the floor Joisrs, except in che area where the floor Joists needed replacement and that the support of the floor Jolsts could have been accompLishecl wi th the 4x4 treated wood posts supporEing each Joist to the footing projeccion. The rim joisr is not a structural member and since the stucco was lntacc, I doubc that replacement of che rim joisc wouLd have been required in order to maintain rhe buiLding tn a sErucEurally adequate condltlon. It would have been more advisable to treat. the rim Jolst and the Jolst ends bearlng on the concrete Eo inhibit further wood decay or damage even lf periodic treatment had co be performed. Stnce the rlm joist was replaced wit.h an unt.reated wood, there is sclll the possibiIiry rhac moisEure will collect behind Ehe stucco again and decay the new rim joisc. I have had some experience wich encrapped waIer behind stucco at the base of che wood construction, and I believe it wouId have been more advisable Eo have saw cut rhe sEucco ar Ehe level of the top of the concrete foundation and to instaIL a flashing co intercepc water and also acE as a weep screed aE the bot.tom of sEucco. Thts method woutd have involved no removaI of the sEucco excepc at t.he areas below rlre living room wlndows. There is concern by the buyer that the repair work, which lnvolved some lifcing or jacking of the sLrucrure ro EemporariLy support thejoiscs wlri le che rlm Jolst removed and the sill plaEe was belnginsLalled, had caused st.rucEural damage Eo the buiLding.
