Roof framing




The upper story is starting to take shape. Figuring out the compound angles and rafter lengths for the dormer structures has made my head hurt. While the trigonometry is reasonably straight forward, putting it into practice is another thing. Two or three millimetres can make the difference between a good fit and the timber being cut too short!
