Thanks & Conclusion
Okay, just to close this thread for you - went by the truss place. it's a 10-year "guarantee" deal, so anything over 10 years - good luck. Second, had a carpenter and inspector look at it - the official word from both was "we see this all the time in TV - they get damaged by the crane, on the ground, etc. Perfectly normal to see 1-4 of them with scabbed boards on them. 2 is better than 1 (thanks to all who suggested that); so, put another 2x4 on the other side. Inspector "would never have mentioned it because this is more common than you think, and the scabbed board is the fix". So, thanks for the input, and now you know. More or less. IJ
