Perhaps post pics on here before doing anything else?
Who is "iguana"?
Your pic is posted sideways and out of focus. Could you post a more clear, corrected pic, and indicate where the purlins are?
Perhaps pics from both sides of that wall would help?
Does the wall support any part of the roof besides the purlins?
Is the ridge a continuous one piece ridge?
