Taking out a wall....
So we must need to install a beam to support the ceiling. Just cut those 5 bottom truss chords and we will hang them to the beam with joist hangers. I know this is right, I saw it on TV!
Flipper cut 5 bottom chords on trusses and installed a beam. I think my buyers left this one a little faster than a walk. This was actually a pretty nice house until they screwed it up. I was kind of hoping the buyers would get and engineer to tell us how to repair but they didn't hang around that long.

Unbelievable. Some people should be barred from using tools.
For repairs, I imagine large plywood gusset plates both sides of every truss with lots of nails. Maybe remove the redundant beam first.

Some people should be barred from thinking while restoring.
Too bad the purchasers didn't pursue repair costs evaluationa by a licensed contractor.
