Thoughts or suggestions welcomed:
A buddy gave me a new 36 inch whole house fan -- attached are pictures from inside attic on 2 story colonial -center -right of vertical web shown ( symmetrical opposite ) , Trusses are 24 " on center . I would like to put the fan around 1-2 feet left of the center vertical web and centered on the "bottom chord " of one truss -- ,
My options are :
A ) Cut the 15 degree "web " and reinforce it
B ) Build a plywood riser high enough to clear the "web " and a Plywood cage down to the actual ceiling .
or
C ) Not installing it at all !
Additional information : house was build in 1970 . Non -permitted work has been done over the years by various owners
thanks
