Evening all. I'm looking for some advice really. I have a 3 story victorian house built around 1890. One of the top bedrooms had a large bow in the pitched roof when looking at it from the inside. I've stripped the plasterboard back to find a really strange configuration. 3 of the 4 rafters have a cross section about a meter up from the tails. They then pitch up at a different angle to the joists. The 4th is perfectly straight. I'm hoping this is because of the unequal pitch between the 2 roofs but just thought I'd see if it looked right to others. Obviously the rafters have seen better days and will need replacing at some point. The 3rd rafter from the left has spilt (red circle) but I'm hoping i can correct that with angle iron. Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks Steve Read more: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/odd-pitch-in-roof-advice-needed.556948/#ixzz6dOY66YxM
