Green framing

The section of the rafter that determines if it still works is not at the edge of the top plates but rather, inboard at a 45º angle. So it might be okay. I notice that there are no frieze blocks between the rafters. What about radiant barrier?

What might not be a good thing here is the overhang. There might not be much wood left on the other side of the top plates. If so the overhang could snap.

It's all wrong....Not going to be hard to get R38 in there, just impossible to get the installed R value that is required...No real wall bracing, probably a 2 pitch with shingles, etc...
