I've just ordered the roof trusses for the new garage, it is subject to Building Regs and they are raised tie trusses( for improved head height potential in the future).
Truss clips are provided as part of the order.
My question is brief but I suspect debateable.
Do I cut birdsmouths in the rafters, despite the supplier stating that no cuts, notches, etc should be done without their approval?
Or do I install them without birdsmouths, leaving a minimal bearing surface of the rafter on the wallplate.
I will be asking the supplier for advice, but being aware of the wealth of expertise on this forum I thought it is worth canvassing for opinion.
