@Hollrobb - Say hello to my dad when you see him. Since you are apparently speaking from beyond, you already know who he is. Tell him hello and I wish he would have understood me better. Thanks.

I thought something like this is just common sense. I can't imagine (I guess I can) carpenters going forward with a project that is not braced stronger than needed. Since you say there are many failures in the industry, they are not as careful as I would think. I am a bracing overkill nut and I am not even a professional. Maybe that is why I don't understand how so many fail.

Thank you, If i had of seen this video back in 2003 I might not have been killed.

Very informative. Check out the "Frook roof truss" video for a stronger temporary brace alternative.
