The engineering drawing requires me to put in a cross bracing. This means we will need to replace the shingles as well as remove a section on the roof to access the trusses. My carpenter preferred this to adding them from the inside. Here is my old roof.
As you can see we needed a replacement on the shingles anyway. It was only 12 years old but we had some ventilation issues.
As you can see there is a truss through the center of the removed chip board. Left side of hole is original. Right side has the cross brace we installed and the venting panel placed properly. This should solve this problem. This brace is the location where the post will go. This will allow the post to be attached to 2 trusses each. When the panel is replaced the posts are installed.
Then the flashing is added as the shingles go on.
This should keep the water out for the life of the Panels.
So this is where we are today. Shingles and posts complete.
Next week. Racks and panels.
