Hi
I'm looking at converting flat to pitched .
Roof has wingspan on top of joists , so have a couple of questions .
Once this removed will I have to run a joist at 90' along front edge on top of existing joints to act as wall plate to take the birdsmouth rafters ?
Also how will I secure the other end where existing rafters of house roof meet the ridge board ? As these new rafters will have to be lower than existing ridge board as I will be looking at roof tiles
Thanks in advance
