I recently noticed I have 2 cracked and sagged rafters on my 1930 gambrel roof barn. I never saw it before, probably because the ridge is still arrow straight and the spot is perfectly hidden from my normal view by the old stave silo. I assume it was caused by snow load. I am trying to work out in my mind how to go about fixing this. I am thinking I will need to jack them back into place and add a second rafter mated to them or metal plates. This is the upper part of the roof, so it is a good distance from the floor and at an angle . The lumber is old home sawed hardwood and you can barely run a nail or screw into it is so hard. I am looking for ideas on how to go about this. I am thinking a long pipe or square tube and bottle jack on angled planks across the floor to spread out the load. Is there a better or easier way ?
