Some time back we thought WE would convert the loft. That WE was the
wife. Anyway change of plans.


We have a Flink trussed rafters 8 in all. There is a diagonol bracing
going from Bottom Left to Top right across the trusses.

Well if you need all that I am amazed hundreds of houses I have seen haven't
fallen down by now. It's only the ones that have a roof looking like the
diagram that have had the roof lift or fall off in gales! All a bit OTT and
not required from what I have seen in 25 years.
