Kathy's HVAC remove roof rafters to install

Kathy, Pickens SC

When Kathy's home was built by the previous owners they did not think about ever having to replace the HVAC unit. The roof rafters were built around the unit. :-(
Thus, I had to install an access door and alter / remove 5 of the roof rafter trusses just to remove the unit. This required adding a lot of support in other ways to help support the weight of the roof, plus allow enough supports in the attic floor for the weight of the HVAC unit.
I do not have any pictures from after the unit was installed. But, I'm told it was a tight fit. :-)
