Question on the rafter connection at a structural ridge beam. Building is in WA state (Pierce county) Cathedral ceilings with 2x12 rafters are shown attached with simpson brackets to a 5 1/8 inch beam. (10/12 slope) What is the best way to vent the ridge with such a thick ridge beam? Would it be better to notch and place the rafters on top of the beam? Any special connection to tie the rafters together? (is it still acceptable to offset and lap the rafters?)
