Hi guys, I'm in the Portland area and recently built a shed in my side yard. Because of some rules I encountered I need to lower the height of the roof about 12".
It has a hip roof, like the photo attached. There are 2x6 wall ties going straight across the top of the walls as well.
Is it possible, generally, to add additional bracing to the jack and hip rafters (to the 2x6 wall ties), and simply cut off the top of the structure, replacing it with a lower/flatter peak? Or will I almost definitely be stuck removing the roof entirely and rebuilding it?
