Just a little notch
I found this today on a McMansion. I could only get to one side of the attic and this roof line had three more sides that I'm betting are just like this.

Re: Just a little notch
Scott, that looks like a stair riser that got installed in the roof rafters. On the job training for a new framing crew? What did the stairs look like?

JUST KIDDING!
