Engineering an Open Attic with Site Built LVL Trusses

On this Build Show we will take you into the coolest Attic you've ever seen with Matt's Engineer on his personal BUILD.  Whit Smith,PE is a second generation Structural Engineer that has worked with Matt and his team on many complicated custom homes.  Whit will show you how he designed this very open attic which is actually a truss but looks like a traditional rafter setup.  
Huge thanks to Whit for coming on the show! https://www.smith-structural.com/people
