    Raising rafter ties

    On the back end it's a wall and then on the front wall a ridge beam maybe could maybe be supported by the block column that is separating the 2 single garage door openings

    Raising rafter ties

    I just measured and it's only 4 foot from the bottom of the rafter ties to the top of the ridge board, so that's only a little over a foot higher. Just wish I could make it a little higher than that. Thanks

    Raising rafter ties

    I ain't thought of that. Are you saying use bottle jacks and at what spot would I jack the roof up on the rafter ties?

    Raising rafter ties

    I have a 20x20 block garage and I'm wanting to raise the ceiling joists up about 3 feet to give me a higher ceiling. I would like to put ceiling joist/rafter tie where the tape measure is pointing or is there any other way to give me the highest ceiling possible without tearing down and building...
