Second Problem - Bowing in/on the stud openings.

The second part of our house has renovated in 1980's according to council plans.

There is s 2m plus opening created as part of the old renovation.

This is where the issue/problem arose from, the point in which the opening was cut out was carrying a large roof trust load and over the years has caused the wall stud to bow. As there was basically too much load on this one point.



Damco's builders recommended the solution  to which would fix this issue, by adding of a new beam to spread the load across the beam onto studs, and ultimately to the stumps. Of course this costed us additional $$$$'s. The spending breaking down will be included at the end of this blog, when the renovation has been completed. Stray tuned.

 


As this could potentially a structure issue, I went with Damco's recommendation and agreed to fixing the issue without hesitation.

I am just glad we discovered the problem now and not later.
