I have 2x4 rafters running a span of 7’6†from the floor to the knee wall. The rafters were supported every other rafter at the knee wall. I plan to add 2x4s to fill in the rest. These would be 16†o.c.
The next span is from the knee wall to an existing wall that I would like to partially remove. This span is 8 feet. I’d like to move the wall in towards the peak of the roof about 4’6â€, but I’m concerned that the existing wall is load bearing. I would be removing about 5 studs from the wall.
The span from the wall I’d like to move and the peak is also 8’.
Any suggestions on how to properly support the roof when I remove this wall?
I’ve attached some pictures of the area. Let me know if you need additional information.
Thanks
