Hey thanks for all the replies guys - it always gives me the creeps to see an "altered" structural unit like a truss even when it does look like it could have been an engineered repair. I give 'em a hard look, but wow the ridiculous chop job in that attic actually had me totally disgusted, hotter than the 110 deg I was standing in. I did take the time to laugh out loud at the tape job. Now if they just made a few more wraps around that thing...

Thanks for the wording Jerry, for the next time...
