Hello all

I'm curious about other framer's methods for notching a common to a plate. I house the rafter into the top side of the plate by 1/2", and into the inner face of the plate by an 1 1/2".

I'm interested to know if there are other opinions that a lesser housing for the heel of the common would still be sufficient, say 1" of perhaps even 3/4"?

Thanks,
brock
