Looking to the front of the house, I have added a 2 x 6 box directly beneath the flat roof box, and collar ties have been cut and installed between opposing rafters, glued and nailed in place, and bracketed underneath the new 2 x 6 box. These collar ties are effectively the new ceiling joists for a slightly lower ceiling in the attic (about 8'4") and the floor joists for the proposed belvedere above.
Looking to the rear of the house, showing two of the collar tie joists, blocking, short T joists butting into the first cross joist, and shorter collar ties down the narrow section of the attic. The wall framing in the background are the walls and door to the attic bathroom.
