WOODWORKING QUIZ for 5 Aug 04
Good Evening Friends,
When framing a wall for a house the code calls for a double top plate. Why?

To allow rafter/trusses to be placed in any position (whatever the reason may be) on that plate; as opposed to directly over a weight bearing stud.

Actually, your code might, ours doesn't always. Depends on wind and static loads and whether, like Ken says you want to be able to put your rafter/truss anywhere other than over your studs.
