49A Grant Ave Project Description
The project will: (1)raise the ceiling height on the second floor of the building, (2)Install two skylights
in the second-floor bedrooms, (3)create new bathroom on the second floor, and(4)install other
improvements(spray-foam insulation,replace interior doors, veneer plaster,refinish floors).
This project will involve the second floor of the house only. Structural modifications will involve the
roof-ceiling assembly only. One partition wall will be removed and replaced.
The existing floor plan is included as Diagram 1.
1. Raising Second-floor Ceiling
Framing
The ceiling height on the second floor of the building is currently 6'6". This is a result of the way that the
2x6 ceiling joists are installed. Instead of connecting rafters together,the ceiling joists are installed below
the wall top plate and connect the top of each wall stud together. (See Diagram 2)
In order to raise the ceiling height the existing ceiling plaster, insulation and ceiling joists will be
removed. The ceiling joists will be replaced by rafter ties placed 1/3 of the vertical distance between the
top of the wall plate and the bottom of the rafter.(See Diagram 3). Ceiling joists will be replaced by a
rafter tie one at a time.
Existing rafters are 2x6 24"oc with a span of 8'9"and 4.4/12 slope. According to International Building
Code(IBC)Table R802.5.5(1)(Dead Load=20 psf)the maximum span for these rafters(Hem-fir#1)
with Rafter Span Adjustment Factor of 0.67 for rafter ties raised above top plate(as specified above) is
7'1". To provide rafters adequate for load and span new 2x6 rafters(Hem-fir#I or better)will be sistered
onto existing rafters using 16d nails and construction adhesive. The sistered rafters will be attached to the
existing top plate using three Simpson H3 rafter Hurricane Ties and nailed according to IBC Table
R802.5.1(9).
Span for the newly-installed rafter ties will be 13'. These rafter ties will be 2x8(Hem-fir#1 or better) in
accordance with IBC Table R802.4(2)(Dead Load=20 psf)and nailed according to IBC Table
R802.5.1(9).
The existing floor plan for the second floor of structure is included as Diagram 3.
2. Install Skylights
One Velux Model VS C08 manual venting skylight will be installed in each bedroom ceiling. The rough
opening for these skylights is 21"x 54 7A 6", so they will be installed between existing rafters
approximately centered in each bedroom as shown in Diagram 4.

INSPECTOR
Louis Hasbrouck Chuck Miller
Building Commissioner Assistant Commissioner
HOME OWNER EXEMPTION ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The State of Massachusetts allows the homeowner the right under 780CMR 108.3.4 to act as his/her
construction supervisor. The state defines "Homeowner" as, " Person(s) who owns a parcel on which
he/she resides or intends to be, a one or two family dwelling, attached or detached structures
accessory to such use and/or farm structures. A person who constructs more than one home in a two-
year period shall not be considered a home owner."
The building department for the City of Northampton wants any person(s)who seek to use the home
owner exemption, to act as their own construction supervisor, to be aware that by doing so you
become responsible for compliance with state building codes and regulations. The inspection
process requires that the building department be called to inspect work at various stages, which include
foundation/footings (before backfill), sonotube holes (before pour), a rough building inspection
before work is concealed insulation inspection if required) and a final building inspection.
The building department requires these inspections before the work is concealed, failure to secure
these inspections can result in failure to obtain a certificate of occupancy until the work can be
inspected.
If the homeowner hires other trades to perform work (electrical, plumbing & gas) the homeowner will be
responsible to make sure that the trades hired secure their proper permits in conjunction to the building
permit issued, and that they get their required inspections. Failure of the individual trades to secure
the permits and inspections as required can DELAY the project until such time as the proper permits
and inspections are made
I, il� L understand the above.
(Home owner!resident's signature requesting exemption)
will call to schedule all required building inspections necessary for the building permit issued to me.
