I have heard where I would need to add >extra longerons for this and others mention nothing of this... Ron There 2 ways of doing this that I know of. You can use the 5/8" longerons and the outside one should have a scarf at least 12" into the area where you double up through the cabin area. Or you can do as I did. I went to the local lumber store and bought one 2 x 6 DF Clear. That means with absollutely no knotts in the stick any where. I cut each one 1 1/8" sq. Then when I was past the cabin area where the plans called for the doubler to be tapered and brought to an end. I just cut two sides of the longerons on the table saw and then I used a ban saw and cut a taper into the cuts that I made. Then you would have only one longeron on ea. side and then they both will be absent of any glue joint in the area of the doubled area. I'm sure that someone will have another idea that you may like even more than this one. If you want, you can 'e' me direct and I'll give you my phone number. Good luck Greg Martin
