Hello
Feel free to shoot me down if you think my plan is at all dangerous or stupid.
I am planning on getting my old asbestos garage roof removed professionally and then installing a new one myself.
My thoughts are however in the process it would be nice to raise the whole roof structure up by a couple inches.
I was planning on therefore putting some 2x4 on top of the sections securing it, and then I was going to lift the rafters and rebolt them in the holes that are slightly lower down.
My issue is the back of the garage does not have these convenient holes so I was planning on using something like this to extend the metal frame down slightly.
