Im sorry about this picture quality. I popped over to look at my neighbors whole home remodel/expansion. There’s a large LVL covering a large span. Seems reasonable. But, there seemed to be a makeshift beam bolted to the actual beam and the makeshift beam seems to be holding the weight of the roof structure. It’s also already sagging in the middle but is flush with the beam where the supports are on the ends. Am I looking that this right in that it appears the weight of the peak is largely sitting on the through bolts that are holding the “fake” beam to the LVL?
