Hi all
The flooring and ceiling in my attic room are sloping. I measured the height difference which is 3cm in 3m from one side to the other. This is enough for things to move down the floor on their own.
The attic is based on attic trusses which span 7.5m from wall plate to wall plate. I have access to one side and could inspect the trusses and wall plate.
Two of the seven trusses are resting nicely on the wall plate with their bottom chords (see attached photo). The remaining five have been notched gradually into the wall plate which causes the overall 3cm height difference between truss one and truss seven (see attached photo).
Does anyone have an idea why this has been done and potential ways forward to fixing this?
Thanks
