proposed solar installation for the Pierce Residence u125l South St. inNorthampton,
MaxouChuucUu. It is o)} understanding that the solar s,,stcnu is being installed on one side
of the roof and that the roof is framed with ruofUosocs constructed fronu 2x4 web and

exterior walls with hurricane anchors. You should also confirm that the blocking is
adequately attached to the flutn`nffrao/ing. Since there ianmdiaobrago� attached Unthe
