I need a lift!

Hey Tooljunkie Manitoba here as well! I had the same thought as you! It looks like you cut 2 trusses? I may cut 3 and box all around to the roof as you did, I have seen this before and seems to work. My worry is snow load on the roof in winter....
No, cut 7 i think. Collar ties and bolts,nails and screws. Construction adhesive.
Its solid. Better than original.
