I would tighten those zip ties with some linesmens and tape those flex connection or mastic them if your not going to use a gun….you don’t want any air leakage may cause condensation
Hey you have a very good eye, I like it.. the outside walls of the attic are not load bearing due to the existing 1900 framing there was no ridge beam and adding one wasn’t an option. Engineer and I came up with the idea of tying the bottom of all rafters together with structural coil strap at the bottom just below subfloor and routed into top of floor joists turning the whole floor into essentially a beam in tension.
This unit was “livable” and I didn’t plan on taking it very far so I had the system slapped in. After peeling a few layers back I slowly discovered how bad this house really was and got to total gut and reframe. Now I put the same unit back in but a way better install. You commented under another’s comment maybe repost this as someone else may have the same question.

Thanks for the tip man, it’s all in a conditioned space and I got them pretty cranked on there lol. Not too worried.
I guess no need for a header above attic window. Then maybe a double 2x to support the ridge. No collar ties required? Over all I say top shelf work

I’m very impressed you sniped that out with just some brief wide angle shots, what do you do for a living, experience?
Do I understand that you installed a whole system and tore it out? You are putting in a whole new system? Did the first one not work?
