I only invited you here so that we can debate about weight bearing structures!:p

Great to have you here...thank you!

LOL - btw - i did have to sister a checked and cracked dimensional 2 x 8 with a 20' span for my 125 in my attic - i also bolted an 8', 2 x 6 to the back of the stand spreading out the load an extra 2' and catching 2 more joists.

BTW - i also found out my house c.1895 has no ridge beam - rafters are tip-to-tip. but that is another story for another time.

thanks for inviting me - i'm sure i will enjoy it! - looks better already :)
