Got a 1941 garage door opening with a semi decent sag. About an 1 1/4 diff give or take.
2x4 true lumber but about
3 3/4 average width.
it’s about 91.5 -92” tall right now. Needs to be 84”
the horizontal dimension is 179 - 179.5”
It needs to be 168”
Debating to get solid Doug fir and mill the header. Or glue & screw 2x4’s for a build up.
Also about jacking straight the existing framing and best way to go about it and be able to build up or put new header in place.
as of now there is no header. Just doubled top plate of a gable end.
I don’t wanna stretch the girl out too badly so I might just work with the sag and give a perfectly level and plum opening. But it also make life pretty easy if I just got it more straight.
Old V rustic lap siding, probably direct to framing.
Thinking the best thing is to just run some extra sticks on the inside for a temp wall if I can somehow connect it to straighten out the existing plate.
