Re: Ceiling Joist and Rafter connection
See if you can make this out, as I said earlier, I could not get any really clear shots.
The last shot looking down at my feet shows the end of the stiff back over the garage from the previous shot that stops at the perpendicular ceiling joist, the entire gable end wall and the roof up over the second story has nothing to resist rafter thrust.
Also, Notice the beam in the right of the third shot, I could not see any adequate provision to keep the beam from rotating and kicking the 2x4 legs out. Am I just paranoid?
