Re: Framing question
Trusses should not be field altered or cut under any circumstances! I would not be offering specific corrections, or discussing types of forces or load paths in the report (unless I had engineering credentials to do so). A structural engineer specialist, or an engineer from the truss manufacturer, should be brought in to analyze the conditions and to specify the repairs. As it appears that this roof framing was altered and added onto, was this done as part of an addition/alterations to the house that requires permitting and municipal approvals? You should advise the client to obtain any of those sign offs that are required by code.
