HELP!! I have a new Wilcon build house and I would like to convert the loft to an office. The roof has pre made trussed rafters in (x8) The 2 end ones are on a wall. I would like to remove the support which comes up on an angle from the node point. I obviously know that the roof will collapse if I just cut them out. However can I replace the support with something else creating more space?? Your comments would be much apreciated. Thanks
