Hi All,
Just finished the blockwork to a small (2m x 3 enclosed porch built off the front wall of the house and I'm now starting to cut the rafters for the pitched roof. I have a couple of questions before I crack on:
Is it ok to fix the first rafters to the house wall, or do they need spacing away?
Does the ridge beam need to sit inside the wall, or is it ok to butt up against the wall?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Paul.
