Hi All
We are having our W trussed rafter roof converted to a bedroom. All internal timbers (including 1.4m high side brace posts/struts and web member timbers) will be removed. Steel or timber joists which will be added which will sit in the block walls at each end.
The top chord timbers are actually in two pieces which are joined together with nail plates in the middle. I am worried that this will be a weak point and if the internal timbers are removed that the roof wont be stable despite some 1.1 metre high side brace posts being added.
Anybody able to give me any reassurances?
I can take a photo if my description is not clear
Cheers
Alex
