Not sure what the law is in other states, in NSW you can't do structural roofing work (carports/pergolas excepted) without a builders/carpenters licence anyway. I found that strange when I obtained my O/B licence that I was allowed to build wall frames internally and vastly modify loadbearing external wall frames but not put trusses on top of them Re: The noggin between the studs 26Oct 02, 2008 10:09 pm Done Peter Clarkson - AusDesign Australia www.ausdesign.com.au This information is intended to provide general information only.

I'm only telling what I see getting done, I dont do those sorts of things myself The other (better) way is to notch out the timber thru the plaster board, and patch up after. Or in brickwork chase and patch the wall after The customer is the one that dictates how its done.
