2022-2023 This project began as a simple inspection to attempt to resolve a sagging ceiling from removed wall from a previous owner. The project ballooned into a permitting dis-entanglement and a number of structural fixes for a number of problems left by the previous owner: a house-flipper. |
|
Fasteners, straps 7 plasma cut truss plates & anchor straps for anchoring/fabricating the steel stud trusses |
|
Plasma cutting the anchor holes in the steel flat bar straps that will reinforce the concrete beam between the east room & the kitchen/dining area |
|
Section at the new east support truss for the ceiling joists where an interior bearing wall was removedd by the “house flipper” |
|
the concrete beam between the east room & the kitchen/dining area |
|
2023-03-24 Steel studs & track to come in 3/29 Projected truss fab/install date: 4/6—4/7 |
|
Section at the new north support truss for the ceiling joists where an interior bearing wall was removed by the “house flipper” |
|
Right: Next on the schedule for this one is to demo all the drywall from the east room & add joists to the roof framing, reinforce a concrete beam which is now undersized because the flipper took out two support pilasters, & add uplift resistance straps & anchors which are all missing. |
|
Above: the first ceiling support jack for the east truss, the ceiling was not deflected too badly here, maybe 1/2-3/4”.
Right: The trusses are anchored through the wall studs and into the floor beams, then to the foundations with steel straps, anchors, and plates.
Far Right: the East truss made of 16 & 20ga. Steel studs & track. The trusses also anchor the roof rafters.
Below: the Rhino Model of the east truss in the attic space. |

The first task is to support the ceiling that is deflecting horribly above the kitchen where the flipper took out a couple of bearing walls (they were supporting the ceiling joists anyway)
A million thanks to Derek Iampieri of DVI home services for his help, experience, and professionalism doing these trusses |

Right: the two trusses in the attic: The North Truss (at left here) is supported by the East truss . . . You can see it in thee digital model images. |
|
Above: the attic before the fix . . . Notice the excuse for ceiling support, the haphazzard 2x4’s—many not even nailed into the joists . . . !! |
|
Above: just before jacking up the ceiling . . .
Below” after jacking it up probably close to 2” . . . It didn’t move when we released the & removed the jacks! Success! |
|
Right: the North truss (~5’ deep & spanning about 18’) 16 & 20 ga. Steel studs & track.
