[QUOTE="eyexer, post: 91904, member: 315"] I was a general contractor and built homes for many years. Those trusses are rated for 50 lb load as per code. That header is probably over 100lb load. That header also isn't supporting exterior walls or roof trusses. It's there only to support the junction of one truss to another in the middle of the basement because those trusses couldn't free span the distance. And if you look close only one truss is sitting on the actual span of that head. The closest one which you can't really see is sitting directly over the cripple and therefore doesn't even play into the issue at all. So so you really think one truss that is rated for 50lb load is going to an issue with two (possibly three) 2x8's and three flat 2x6's?
