I appreciate this thread is really old but instead of starting a new one i thought i would try posting here in the hope someone may reply as its on similar subject.
I have similar requirement to the original poster, where engineer has specified existing 3x2 rafters be upgraded with 6x2s bolted to existing. I'm wondering if Atelectrical was able to do this without removing the roof?? I can't work out how to get the new rafters in place, even with just a seat cut instead of birdsmouth at the wall plate end, the other end of the new rafter clashes with the ridge board when trying to lift in to place.
Any suggestions??
