t <br /> MSS INC <br /> ENGIN EERINGSURVEYORS CONSULTANTS <br /> PLANNERS <br /> July 20, 2021 <br /> Mr. Don Taylor <br /> 49930 Santiam Highway <br /> Idanha,Oregon <br /> Re: Inspection of Shop Building. <br /> Supplement to Inspection Report for Structural Damage due to Fires on the property in 2020. <br /> At the time of the inspection of the shop building, I made a visual observation of the wall nearest the road <br /> and could not tell if there was deflection. From the pictures supplied by the contractor I do here affirm that <br /> such deflection is not the result of natural studs drying out after construction. The degree of localized <br /> deflection is attributable to the exposure of the wall to high temperatures in the vicinity of the place where <br /> the deflection occurs. <br /> The fact that the non-exposed walls,front, rear and opposite side wall do not have such a degree of <br /> deflection argues for the fast drying of the studs on the side of the studs where the sheathing and metal <br /> siding were exposed. <br /> This heating would cause the bowing inward because the wood fibers on the outside of the studs were <br /> shrinking to a higher degree than the side of the studs open to the inside of the shop building. <br /> Please express md anks and appreciation to the contractor for providing the pictorial data. <br /> John Seders PE(Engineer of record) <br /> SiMCTUp„t) <br /> ,..0?,,,Oreo; <br /> 64) MEtQ s�ny\. <br /> , 1 6 / L <br /> , 3 OREGON <br /> ✓ <br /> X23 4 <br /> $1 <br /> ✓OHN SERu- <br /> EXPIRES 961301 hilt <br /> 215 N.W. 4th Street, Corvallis,OR 97330.
