SE advised to replace all packing with steel Got 4 done, just the tricky ones left with no easy way to prop

I have no idea how they were created, but don't see why you would use 2 pieces on 1 when the other packers cover the beam in one, horizontally at least Will see what the SE says on Thursday.
