I am leaning towards this fix, no pun intended. Would you replace the headers with longer ones or no? Seems like if I sistered 2x6's there would be more meat to attach the existing ones. I'll call the inspector this week and see what he suggests just to be sure. Thank you everyone for the input!

Cant get pics to show up but heres a link at least. https://drive.google.com/open?id=1d9iVo1rdPZ3qIZlsYV631BIZmvnAIo6g

They're 4x6 solid posts. I wish they were laminated. Unfortunately this is a DIY job I dont have access to any equipment so I'd have to pay someone.

It doesn't seem to have warped any since nailing it all in so I'm pretty optimistic that it's done (or at least held in place good enough that it can't move). I have no idea how I'd get that post out of there if that were the case.

A photo should be up soon, PugetDude offered to post it for me because I am restricted. I agree, I would like to do the best fix that will allow my gable to be straight and not deal with an inner wall that is out of plumb. The warp happened before I got everything nailed up as far as I can...

That's a good call, I didn't think of that. That would be sufficient for codes? I have to have this inspected before I put steel on it so I just want to make sure I'm doing things by the book. Thanks!

What's up guys? Rich from Buffalo, NY. Building a 30x24x10 post frame garage/work shop. Been a fun project despite doing it solo for the most part and it being winter in Buffalo! Can't wait to get some good ideas from the forum. Rich

It won't let me post a picture because I am new.

Hello everyone. I'm building a 30 x 24 x 10 post frame garage and I have a question about fixing an error I made. This is my first time taking on a project of this nature so while it has gone pretty well given my lack of experience, I have made a couple of oops, just nothing that wasn't easily...
