We are looking to repair and/or replace a wood-framed roof bearing on unreinforced terra cotta block. A sketch of the approximate existing condition is below.
Current attachment is via galvanized tire wire. I hesitate to specify any of the commercially-available framing connectors as they all require installation of several Tapcons within in small area and deterioration of the terra cotta block is a concern. Has anyone had success with something similar?
Thanks!
