Hey Jim, yes this is the room with the vaulted ceiling and that beam supports the ceiling joists and rafters. I'm not a carpenter but I did work for one for years growing up and learned quite a bit. Although, I never had to worry about loads, PSI, etc, etc, I just did what he said. Anyway, I'm just trying to rebuild this place as strong and secure as I can. It's my therapy I do tend to "overkill" things as you may have noticed from previous pics I posted in rebuilding the trusses and running new ceiling joists. The camp is coming along well, and I enjoy spending time up there. Just trying to take an old camp that was let go, along with cut trusses, etc and rebuild her for future generations. That's why I get a little worried about this beam, just want to make it safe for kids and family. Thanks for all the input!
