Hello,
Sorry I am a complete beginner, and not really sure what I'm asking or if this is the right category. Basically - we bought a house last year which came with a dilapidated old Garage. The building is structurally sound and we're trying to do some work to make it useable (and less of an eye sore!). We're doing as much ourselves as we can, and getting folk in to do what we can't.
Anyway... The question is the timber beams for the roof seem to stick out of the back wall of the garage (see attached photos). We're trying to tidy up the garden a bit and these are a total eye sore. I was really just wondering if there is a structural (or other reason) for these to be this way. Or could we have the sections that stick out cut off. And more over is this something which requires an expert, or literally something I can just saw off myself.
I'm sure this is a stupid question, but hopefully someone will take pity and be able to offer assistance!
Thanks
