/diy/ - Do It Yourself

This is a picture of where the two poles in question meet the center. I have circled them to show what I previously explained about them both spanning across half the width of the garage, yet not meeting in the middle.

Here is a photo of the other pole. I am certain that this pole is what is keeping the roof up. I am even nervous to walk around in there.

Here is another angle of that pole. There are two of these within the addition of the garage. Each running half way across the width of the garage. Oddly enough, they don't actually connect, nor are they near one another.

Should I remove these and just rebuild properly? Or should I just leave them where they lie and continue to rest the new joists upon them after installation?

As you can clearly see here, the joist tie-ins were half assed. In addition to that, I am fairly certain a large amount of the garages weight may rest on that pole on the left side of the image. Any guidance on how I should properly tie this would be appreciated.

That is exactly the issue as well. The tie-in has no flashing, and the entire roof is void of ice and water or tar paper. The entire roof is going, and the joists need to be replaced.

My grandfather also only built with materials he had. Subsequently, the structure is built like shit. At this current point, I am certain I need to rebuild at least the roof, and the back wall.

To give you guys a rundown, I inherited a piece of property with a 24x36 garage on it. I love the garage, however it needs some serious renovation.

The part of the garage that has virtually no pitch is an addition to the original gabled structure. Clearly, my grandfather was no architect, putting no pitch on an update NY structure.

Hello friends.

A few months back I posted some pictures of my dilapidated garage asking for some guidance for planning purposes. Well, the weather has cleared up, and it is time to progress with the project.

I will maintain and update this thread constantly until the build is complete. I appreciate any guidance that you provide throughout the posting as well.
