Victim in July balcony collapse sues property owner, Tybee By Dana Clark Felty, SavannahNOW
Feemster, an attorney whose practice focuses on personal injury complaints, has not filed a suit. However, he hired structural engineer David Sladek to determine if the balcony was up to code.
Sladek would not comment, but Feemster said the engineer's report showed that four nails holding a center beam to the house bore most of the weight on the balcony. (photo)
According to codes in place at that time, the structure should hold 40 pounds per square inch, totalling 7,680 pounds for the 12-by-16-foot deck.
'It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that those nails couldn't hold that much weight,' Feemster said.

The nickname was given to the estate after dream homes became a nightmare when they started to collapse.------------------------------------------- posted 8:13 AM :: reference link ::
