    Cut roof instead of trusses

    Truss manufacture must have made the mistake then when doing up the truss plan. inside garage is 7200mm wall to wall. 100mm block, 100mm cavity, 100mm block on both sides and on the face of the garage is 200mm stone which takes the overall width to 8m then whatever soffit i want.
