Default Best Truss Repair Ever!!!

I know we have all seen the cracked truss, web, gusset, etc.

I noted a damaged truss and recommended repair (one year warranty). The contractor contacted the truss manufacturer, they came out to repair it.

Boy did they repair it! They added a 2x4 on each side, then braced all three 2x4's with 2x12 on each side!!!!!

Holy SUPPORT Batman!!
