trying to finish up a lean -to, had the top anchor to a 2-8 to the ends of each trussed, and a 2-6 across the bottom of truss and rafter hanger screwed to both, the 2-8 split in half the full length of the building,well the Amish are coming Friday, [Linked Image]

Usually we slide new rafters alongside of existing rafters over existing wall. Glad you’re all okay.

imagine a snow load

they need to be getting that over the weight bearing wall not attached with screws to what is basically a facia board.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Exactly. Can't tell you how many calls for just that scenario I got as a contractor in Alaska. And a lot of them were after snow took them out.
Facia usually isn't a structural member.


Just doing what I want now.
