Brothers Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Came across this carrying beam today, I have never seen one twist as much as this. Any insight on this would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 I'd mention it, note that it probably twisted as it dried during the 1st year after construction, observe that it looks like it's now stable, and leave it at that. I see no need for a repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Katen Posted June 1, 2019 Report Share Posted June 1, 2019 Oh, yes, I'd also bemoan the fact that the original builder failed to restrain the ends of the beam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Baird Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 ...noteworthy but NBD. Must have been green at installation. You don't get them this big at big box or local lumber supply. I bet it made a hump in the finish surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
