Home Inspector Atlanta GA Reveals Roof Truss Problems

[s37d]

ill take my 1915-built old growth douglas fir true 2x4 truss-less house over these new homes anyday

Wow! Good eye inspector obvious!

But forget the trusses for now, what about the trip wires around the stairs and not having adequate room between the stair opening & the wall (aka: cut trusses).

So why no advice on how to correct the problem? We have always used rafters instead of purchasing trusses.

actually it probably started w/ a poorly designed house ... sometimes those fancy structural engineers forget to leave enough room for the A/C equipment in the attic .... and there has to be room for someone to actually get up there and move pieces in and out for repairs later.

That is just plain old fashoned stupidity played out to the hilt....

my dear lord, i am not even a quailified carpenter yet, but even i can tell that a friken dog cut them!

The person who cut these trusses open, compromising the integrity of the roof, is nothing short of a retard, for lack of a better word. I don't wish any harm on anyone, of course, but, I hope this roof fails on him, in the middle of a snowy winter christmas morning. And the snow dumps all over his christmas tree.

This stupid ass must have been drunk when cutting into these roof trusses like that.
