Those form an eave on the outside, about 12" wide.ICE said:What is coming in from the other side?
I don't think it will work, I believe it brought the rafter down to about a 2x4. I don't remember the span off hand. The stamped plans called for 2x10 rafters. It could work, but clearly this is not what the arch had in mind.RJJ said:Need more info! How this ties together. What is the pitch and ridge assembly? Not sure I have a big problem with the cut. I am guessing the rafters are 2x10's so what is the span?
That is exactly what I recommended. Actually, a little more than 1-1/2" so the drywall will clear the ledger. They said they were going to do that. I wondered if Simpson made a hanger for this?pwood said:put a 1 1/2" level cut on the bottom of the rafter and install a joist hanger nailed to the double plates to carry the load.
Honestly, I'll have to take a better look at that. It didn't send up any flags when I was there. But I could have been distracted. I'll let you know what I find.ICE said:I don't think much of the way the overhang is attached. How about a connection from the roof diaphragm and the wall?
Timberlock screws aren't structural connectors. Good for fastening railroad ties in your garden, thoArchitect1281 said:saw one like that saturday with Timber Lok Screws through to the platesstill does not cocomply as 2x8 becomes whats left 2x4 maybe?
flat cut and attached ledger is probable depends on what rafter is supposed to be
Yeah, sometimes when a big red flag like this one comes up, it keeps hitting you in the face and distracts from being able to really see other problems. As for pwoods solution - good idea, it would probably work, but as an inspector I'm not going to mention it. While I like to help, way too often the idea gets twisted to a "Well, the building inspector TOLD me to do it this way." Nasty can of worms.TimNY said:Honestly, I'll have to take a better look at that. It didn't send up any flags when I was there. But I could have been distracted. I'll let you know what I find.

For dowel-type connections. Not sure what that entails, but the onus would be on the contractor to substantiate it. The ESR doesn't even reference a code section.DRP said:
