Please provide details for cantilevered deck extended from open porch.

Re: Deck joist calculation.  The first live load listed is 10 psf.  Decks are rated at 40 - 60 psf.  This deck also has uplift.  Please clarify.
-  Brace calculations were not found.
-  Details for cantilevered deck extended from open deck were not found.

02/07/14.  A new calculation format was re-submitted instead of correcting the first calculations.  The new format is clearly labeled "Demonstration Version.  NOT to be used for professional design purposes".  Additionally, the input and results are not clear.  These calculations cannot be accepted.

02/15/14.  HOLD Inspection 106 for new calculations.
Deck Joist calculations are "dry-use only", but they are in a wet location.  Please provide calculations for correct use.
Deck Beam 2-3 could not be located on plans.  Judging by supports, it appears to be an LVL, not pressure treated in a wet location.  Please review and clarify.
See Comment 12.
