I'm currently planning a new bathroom. We would like a corner bath and to make room I need to move the struts/knee wall under the purlin back 500mm. I've attached a picture for reference. What considerations do I need to make for this to be done safely? You will see in the picture how thr vertical studs are nailed to the purlin and a piece of similar timber across the floorboards. What is the likelihood these are integral to the function of the roof and not just so a wall could be made in the bathroom?
