I think what he's asking is if someone might be able to come "show" him how to do it.griz said:That's a California....:thumbup: If all pitches are 8/12 your California cuts are also on 8/12...:whistling am I missing something in the question?
What he said, except you don't have to sheet the main roof first. It may be the same amount of work but you can do the valleys first simply by putting your ridge levelled into the main roof, then stringing a valley down. Then put your valley board, and put plywood backups out of 2x4s in between the trusses. Then you can sheet the different planes separately.Sheet the main roof in, stretch line across peak, straight edge marks onto sheeting at bottom of valley, snap valley lines. From there, its measure cut, & nail. Then layout rafter locations, & measure.
The cuts are either plumb 8/12, or level 8/12. The saw bevel degree will be about 37'.
I'm wondering what a blind valley is too...I thought this looked like just a plain and simple valley.What is a blind valley?
If your framer can't figure it out, he is not a framer, whatever you call it. What I see in your pictures is as basic as it comes.
ive always heard it referred to as a blind valley, but it's the same as a California or a scotch valley.Brian Peters said:I'm wondering what a blind valley is too...I thought this looked like just a plain and simple valley.
California fill should keep the snow awayoldfrt said:Seems that single girder truss is being asked to carry quite a bit of weight for where snow may accumulate?
We call it a California fill. We are required to sheet it first. The inspectors always hits up on the plywood with a 2x4 from down below to see if its nailed.heavy_d said:What he said, except you don't have to sheet the main roof first.

This is one of the most simplest things to do in framing past building a wall, but I guess takes some experience to get used to that you can do it quickly without much real thought.
