Re: Framing question
My thoughts are, based on what is shown in the photo, that at a minimum the vertical supports should be turned 90 degrees to align bearing to bearing (the 2x4 is turned to align with the top chord of the truss and the ridge, not perpendicular to them).
As installed, it creates shear forces which could cause splitting of the 2x4 verticals.
The 3rd, 4th, and last photo are of the same area, and there should be some support connecting the ridge to the top chord of the truss. Is there? Hard to tell, but the 4th photo seems to show some type of shim (OSB?) and nails to the top chord??? Whether or not it is properly nailed is another question.
