phamEng, that's a great point. This used to be 2 stories and we were doing a modified balloon framing situation, so I had it in my head that these were hangers. But this is now the roof, so they could absolutely just bear on the walls.
Is there any issue with skewed joists bearing?
Hi, I am trying to lay out joists for some non-orthogonal walls. These will be top flange hangers to top plates of the bearing walls. My question is, would you lay it out at a similar angle to both walls (parallel to the exterior wall here), or with 90 degrees to at least one wall?
Thinking...
