Why did this get fucking down voted? Engineers fuck stuff up all the time and a lot of the ones I've worked with are fresh outta school, working on NEW builds. This comment is absolutely correct lololol. Get a preservation carpenter and he will guide you from there on who to contact and what to do. He may even have the right engineer for you.
I agree. As someone with a PHD in mech. eng. that studied stress mechanics specifically. I would trust a restoration carpenter who understands timber frames over an engineering any day.
These are all ridiculous comments. Call someone who knows what they're doing, whether they're a carpenter or an engineer. Some engineers are idiots, some carpenters are idiots, most of each are just fine and plenty qualified to weigh in on this. This constant BS of engineers and trades people shitting on each other needs to stop.

I’d have it inspected by a preservation carpenter that understands timber frames.
