You need to change the lateral system, the base shear is dependent on the R factor, (response modification factor) asce 7 has a table of values for different building systems, chapter 11 or 12 i think. Base shear is divided by this factor ( via seismic coefficient Cs) . A highly ductile frame will give you a higher R( special moment frames) a non ductile system (unreinforced masonry) will give you a very low R value. Also, asce 7 has upper and lower limits of Cs.

Coolant flush

Flushing coolant on 2016 chevy tahoe, Ipulled main hose and drained, only got about 8 qts, filled reservoir with 2 gallons of distilled water and ran it for half an hour. Going to drain, rinse? And then refill.

I guess im surprised i didnt get more coolant. It was a main hose off the radiator and I pulled it down under the truck to drain.

Id take a look under the car, could just mean it hasnt been driven in a while

You picked your sister over your husband, jfc. Id be livid. You have the dr, nurses and your mom, but yea lets have sis in there as well.

Load case 2, would result as point loads on the carrying beam and should be different than load case 1 with the triangular loads.

Thats the architects job, we dont get paid enough to check their work, they determine the elevations and window heights with our input.

Oxide jacking of the brick, a rust pack forms and the volume of rust is much greater thus it pushes the brick up, you may also be getting water below the windows from a leaky brick window sill. Id say you need an engineer and a mason, if its brick veneer, there are metal ties that keep the brick secured to the wall, those are usually pretty thin and rust out, which leads to the brick facade buckling.

Id look closely at second bay top and bottom, the plate elements are offset, remesh so that you have the same width and length of plates across each bay.

Hint, look for a beam under it in basement, not a guarantee but a good start.

Yes this would be an example, its similar, when illustrating the blocking.

Edit to add: you can then add a smaller piece to this blocking so you can then add your cross blocking on top of this piece

Youd want to add solid blocking to the web each side and thru bolt with a gap at the bottom flange, no load transfer to the bottom flange. Better if blocking is close to web depth.

So shes a gold digger? At least you know now

Any one here pay mortgage on a million dollar home with a SAHM? 100k salary aint going to cut it. A 30 year mortgage is 6600 per month, plus property taxes, school taxes. No way

Also to add, The rim is covered by the wall sheathing, the joist hanger nails are meant for full embedment into a ledger, and the sheathing does not count, the nail has to bypass this material and this sheathing is non structural.

Dude, where to begin, lay down the law and stop simping over her. Let her do her own shit from now on!
