Northampton,
Northampton, NIA rIFPT Of SU° H'"INSPEC lf!"'
This letter is a summary of my inspection of this building on 4/13/00, and my subsequent calculations.
The building is a single story wood-framed structure with gabled roofs. It appears to have an older
section in the front half, over the kitchen, bathroom, and living room. The rear section, containing the
two bedrooms, seems to be an addition. The first floor walls support only the loads of the roof and the
ceiling. The ridge of the roof over the front section runs parallel to the street,which means that the front
and middle walls are load haring.
In particular, the wall between the living room and the breezeway is bearing the loads of the roof and
ceiling. There is already an opening which is about 5.5 ft. wide, with a raised sill. You could lower the
sill to the ground without a structural issue. 1 o one side of this openin, is a 2.5 ft. passageway which
you could widen about 1.5 ft. to each side, creating another 5.5 ft. opening. This would require a new
header, which should be a triple 2x6 Spruce-Pine-Fir #1/#2, for maximum headroom. This assumes a
roof dead load of 15 psf, ,i ceiling dead load of 10 psf, a snow load of 35 psf,and a tributary width of 9
fl. on the wall. The wall appears to be 5.5" inches thick, so the three 2x6 could have two '/2" thick
plywood sandwiches for extra strength. Judging from our conversation and my assessment of the
conditions,this seems to be your optimum solution. However,if you wanted a wider opening,you could
use the following beam schedule:
Span Beam Size
7' - 6" (3) 1.75" x 5.5" 1.9E Microllam
91 - 3" (3) 1.75" x 7.25" 1.9E Microllam
13' - 0" (3) 1.75" x 9.5" 1.9E Microllam
The wall between the kitchen and the living room,as well as the wall between the bathroom and the front
door, are not load bearing. You should be able to remove them without having to replace any structure.
The rear addition has a ridge running perpendicular to the street. Therefore the sidewalls in that section
are bearing the roof and outer ceiling loads,while the center wall supports the middle of the ceiling. The
rear wall, being the gable end wall, is not load bearing,and you should have no problem creating a wide
double door opening there.
