So we’re doing a build and working with our contractor. They placed a Gable wall flush with the exterior wall by mistake, which should have had a hip extending out at the lower portion of the Gable (like a Dutch Gable). The problem is the roof plan shows 4×10 jack rafters extending from the hip overhang through the Gable about 4 feet and tying into the 3rd truss. When they fixed the problem they simple tied into the Gable truss. I have pictures but should we have the framers fix this to support the cantilever or Is it fine just attaching to the Gable truss?
