I cut the wall plate on the hipped side of our house to install a padstone and RSJ. Before I did it I strapped the wall plate to the wall with angled straps and also added extra props under the purlins.
Everything went well, I sat the steel on the pad stone before removing the extra props.
I need to do this again and wondered if I should do anything different, maybe fix a straight strap to the underside of the rafters?
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.
