Overnotched Rafter

Sorry Larry, it was what you “said” not what you “sad” - I should go ahead and log off now before I make another goff - I mean goof!!.

If I’m seeing the picture right, the blocking has already been accomplished with the soffit that has been connected to the fascia.

That 2x that runs perpendicular to the top plate runs continuously behind the rafters and forms the rear box portion of the overhang. So, I would not consider it as blocking.

You’ve got a good point there Tyrone.

Is it a wood soffit?..making a rigid box.

I believe that would work fine if it’s nailed adequately.:wink:
