ramdino Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 What the heck is this. I think I know. It is attached to a group of piggy back trusses in the center. It looks like a lift bar from construction. It is in the center of the group so that makes sense. Another question is why did they switch from normal trusses to piggy back trusses. Is it because there is a 2 story vaulted celling on the other side of the ridge. I think I answered my own question.

Jim Katen Posted May 22, 2013 Report Share Posted May 22, 2013 The bar looks like an improvised fall protection anchor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAHI of KC Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I agree. It looks like some sort of a lifting mechanism. Let us know if you find out differently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspectorjoe Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 I had three of them in this afternoon's attic. You can see the hole that was punched in the sheathing to get the cable outside. Click to Enlarge 56.75 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
