I hope you can tell what i intend to do using the pics posted.
i have to bolt a channel beam either side of the truss joist going into the wall. This will form my main beam on which i can hang my new floor off.
However, the C beam sits 3" higher than the truss and needs to fit into the wall. You will see the roofs wall plate is in the way. i have been told it is ok to just cut this section out (about 5" wide). i can then plate the sections to rejoin them.
Does that sound reasonable ? What problems may i have.
This is what i have been told to do by the engineer.
