Pics http://ift.tt/2rh4JD1 story short this roof was over a terrible "apartment" that I had gutted with the idea of making it a carport. It was gutted and the 2x4 studs that made up the walls were removed and 6x6s were put in. Upon further inspection the 2x4s look to be under stress but I'm not sure.Question: How can I reinforce the 2x4s?A. I want to avoid adding new columnsB. I'd like to avoid replacing the 2x4s because that seems like a royal pain. If this is not possible well it's not possible.What should I do?Edit: the 2x4s I'm referring to at the moment make up the top plate. There were many 2x4 studs that made up the walls that were removed that were under and supporting the 2(2x4) top plate. via /r/DIY http://ift.tt/2qtDNyZ
