However if you want to better utilize the space in your loft you may consider changing roof trusses and going for stick framing or rafters instead.
Removing roof supports attic.
I have this above my own garage.
Remember any alterations to a roof should be undertaken only with an engineer.
Use a plumb bob on a string to find the point on the upper cords or rafters of your trusses directly above the line.
Look at this photo of the space created by attic trusses at my home.
Let s start with what i can see.
Adjust the bob until it is directly over the line and still.
That can complicate things.
Attic trusses have a rectangular shape inside each truss.
If the roof slope is steeper than 9 inches in 12 inches of run it doesn t take much width to end up with a nice room 12 feet wide with an 8 foot ceiling.
In pictures 1 3 it looks like there has been an addition to the original structure.
Roof trusses are a common means of support and load bearing.
