This home was built with roof rafters that were undersized for the long span that they were covering. Working with an engineer the decision was to add additional framing inside the attic to act much like prefabricated roof trusses. In some areas the new framing rests on a bearing wall below, over the master bedroom a LVL beam was installed to pick up the load from the roof. To get the beam into the attic the roof mounted exhaust fan was removed and the beam was fed in from the outside.
