Howdy,

Well Brad_bb sent me a scanned copy of p.44, and I see the resemblance. So is the beam that runs parallel to the top-plate there to counter balance the stub-tie?...or to keep the roof system from splaying the side walls? or is the top-plate too narrow to except a notched rafter tail?...

So many question!

Thanks to all who have responded!
