Thanks for all of the insights, techniques, information etc etc to all. I really appreciate it all. I will continue getting the floor as level as possible, then move my way up to the rafter ends & ceiling joists ends + the ridge board. I will report back with whatever success I have or don't...

Rafters & Ridge Board are separating Are the ceiling joists in two pieces with a lap joint over the center wall? Do you see slippage in that joint. - cracks in the ceiling joints? Do you see the slippage at the wall top connections ? -Yes the ceiling joists are two piece that over lap. I...

You are correct, this house was built without collar ties.

Can you tell me what your thoughts are on a ridge vent? Thanks

Of course, I am looking for more info or personal insight/experience on similar situations. For example, if someone says early construction did include collar tie type of braces and that is why in general the roof is sagging. That information would be helpful in understanding at least some of...

I will get pics as soon as possible. My house is the same as most (especially in my area built on clay, soil = clay lots of movement). Foundation (perimeter) is ok (ok = the concrete does not have any major cracks etc), there are definitely ups & downs throughout the house. The entire roof...

Hmm. Metrology is a very broad field, please be a little more specific/precise on & to your point.[emoji3][emoji57]

I built a small house with a very similar look, the added height doesn't had much $$ in the grand total. Is this project being viewed by an inspector? Is the header over the window or is it a door correct?
