If so my first thought is Jeff Ruppert (on this list) in Colorado or a number of California engineers (including some on this list).</div><div style="font-size: 12px;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12px;">Another possibility is for an out-of-state engineer to do the structural design/calcs and have Lindsey Love stamp/sign the structural design. Assuming both parties are comfortable with that and assuming she’s a licensed architect in Idaho. I don’t know of a jurisdiction that wouldn’t accept a structural design from a licensed architect for a single family dwelling two stories or less (still going through the normal plan check).</div><div style="font-size: 12px;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12px;">A third possibility is to have an out-of-state engineer familiar with SB consult with a licensed Idaho engineer who isn’t, but whom Lindsey trusts.</div><div style="font-size: 12px;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12px;">Also, I don’t know if the State of Idaho or the local jurisdiction have adopted Appendix S from the 2015 IRC. But Appendix S clearly allows load-bearing with specific capacities for different wall assemblies (mostly a function of plaster type) and detailing requirements. Even if Appendix S hasn’t been adopted it could still be used to justify a load-bearing design.</div><div style="font-size: 12px;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12px;">I hope that helps . . .</div><div style="font-size: 12px;"><br></div><div style="font-size: 12px;">Martin</div><div style="font-size: 12px;"><br></div><div><font size="1"><b style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Martin Hammer, Architect<br></span></i></b>1348 Hopkins St.<br>Berkeley, CA 94702<br>510-525-0525 (office)<br>510-684-4488 (cell)</font></div><div style="font-size: 12px;"><br></div><span id="OLK_SRC_BODY_SECTION" style="font-size: 12px;"><div style="font-family:Arial; font-size:10pt; text-align:left; color:black; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0in; PADDING-LEFT: 0in; PADDING-RIGHT: 0in; BORDER-TOP: #b5c4df 1pt solid; BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; PADDING-TOP: 3pt"><span style="font-weight:bold">From: </span> Gsbn <<a href="mailto:gsbn-bounces@sustainablesources.com">gsbn-bounces@sustainablesources.com</a>> on behalf of Big M Construction <<a href="mailto:bigmconst@gmail.com">bigmconst@gmail.com</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Reply-To: </span> GSBN <<a href="mailto:GSBN@SustainableSources.com">GSBN@SustainableSources.com</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Date: </span> Tuesday, March 7, 2017 at 6:23 AM<br><span style="font-weight:bold">To: </span> GSBN <<a href="mailto:GSBN@SustainableSources.com">GSBN@SustainableSources.com</a>><br><span style="font-weight:bold">Subject: </span> [GSBN] Idaho Structural Engineer<br></div><div><br></div><div><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=utf-8"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;" class="">Greetings all!<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">My friend Lindsey Love, an Architect in Driggs, ID is looking for an engineer to help with getting load bearing straw bale approved and adopted into their jurisdiction.
