Hi.
I'm helping my father-in-law to build an brick shed. All the walls are up and now i'm doing the roof. The question i have is how to join the roof to the walls. I was going to put a length of 4"x2" on top of the wall then fix the roof joists to these. What i've been told to do is put a layer of cement on top of the walls first then lay the 4x2 on this and tap it level. Then leave it here until it's dry and then screw it to the wall.
Is this correct?
