Firstly I'd like to say Hi to everybody out there, I'm a first timer on this site and hope somebody out there can help.
Basically I'm constructing a single story extension to the rear of our house which origionally was to have a flat roof, after some thought and after the plans had been drawn I decided to change to a pitched roof. After consulting building control on pitch, span of rafter etc I know my rafters need to be 125x50mm on a wall plate of 100x50mm(birds mouth end).What i'm not so sure about is what dimensions the other wall plate needs to be (thats the one the top end of the rafter is attatched to).
I hope i've made myself clear
yours Hopefully
