This place was built in 1915. Sorry, no truss. There is no direct access into the attic space. When I was stripping wallpaper and skim coating the back bedroom I decided to cut a hole in the ceiling with a recip to get a peek. You would not belieive what I found.
I cut through some drywall...
Hopefully I did not double post...My images may be a wee bit over the xy limit as well.
Please see the attachments for clarification.
This is an older thread, but I have a similar issue I would like to address. I want to vault a ceiling on a second floor bedroom.
House is 14/12 pitch...
