that roof had shakes and was built to support that style of roof.. When you sheet over and re shingle the roof, you over load the rafters.. Looks good...

This worked out great. Thanks. I didn't go quite this far but I got the sag out damn close to perfect. Tossed a few angled gusset boards in. Wrapped it up in four hours. I'm pretty pleased for my first time doing this particular project

Great video. I have the same issue over a large area in my roof. Barrel tile roof. The interior ceiling is also vaulted. Little harder to climb in attic..

Impressive job! I think the strongback would be stronger if the 2x8 was where the 2x4 is

I certainly agree. If I had to do it again. I'd go with 4" L angles steel or bigger. That would suck much more bow out of it.

@@everymancarpentry1712 That might just add more of a bow to it due to the excess weight from the steel.

How big of a project is it to upgrade all of the rafters? I have the same problem on my 110 year old, 20'x40' perfect rectangular shaped house. 20k or under id consider it but anything over that and ill just have to do a fix like this.

I did something similar and the stress cracked the rafter at the top anchor after a few months. Now what? Install a sistering splint board? Should stress be relieved first? Will relieving stress cause leaks? Help!

@everymancarpentry1712 3 жыл бұрын

I wish I had an answer for that one. Is it possible to sister the full length of rafter?

Thank you. It really was just taking one idea I had used elsewhere and applying it.

Hi Tom, My home's about the same age and the roof looks very similar to this video. I need to find someone in my area (Oceano, Ca.) to make the same type of repairs. Know of anybody?

Unfortunately I don't. Being in Indiana, it is rare to make it out that way, unfortunately.

You strong back in installed the wrong way. The 2x6 should be where the 2x4 is and the 2x4 should be where the 2x6 is. These should also be supported with structure all the way down to the foundation. What you did was just add a lot of excessive weight to the underside of the ceiling, which was already compromised.
