This video demonstrates how to remove a purlin from a traditional cut rafter roof to create more storage space. The process involves adding structural support to the rafters before removing the purlin, which significantly increases the span and bending moment. The video explains the importance of mimicking the original rafter span with a tie to ensure the roof remains structurally sound.

This video demonstrates the effects of different roof construction methods on wall stability. The presenter uses a model to show how traditional rafters can cause walls to push outwards, and explores various solutions, including collar ties, to mitigate this issue. The video concludes with a recommendation for a steel ridge beam to achieve a fully vaulted roof with minimal wall movement.
