We have an “intersecting gable” roof (I think)
The main gable runs side to side and there is a front bump with gable on front of house.
Several roof rafters on the main section of the house come down and rest beside a ceiling joist. Not on top of it, it’s pretty much face nailed to it with no other support. There is a full wall with doorway under that ceiling joist, but downstairs it is open.
I have never seen any sort of load bearing area run parallel to the ceiling and floor joists before either, so maybe it isn’t technically a load bearing wall but from what I understand a lost roof rafters, it almost has to be. IS IT??????
Ask additional questions all you want, I know I probably butchered this question.
