Hi, I recently purchased an older house and there are cracks in the ceiling support joists in the attic. They are small cracks near the base where the roof of the main house and of the back porch join togethor. Probably from the weight of the back porch roof.
I was told to put a "kneeling brace"? up there to help support. Can anyone confirm if this is the correct term and where I get/how I build one of these?
