I love that.:thumbsup:

 

Nick if gables are your thing, you should come to New Jersey. Every house that gets built here now looks like this:

 

Cute little set of steps and a false gable dormer i built on the flat ground instead of a wet, slippery 14 pitch!

 

Started working for a guy on some big custom houses. A lot more fun than the track houses I was doing before. Got a few days of back framing, a few days for the basement and then build the pool house. After this one we are into a 16,000 sq monster. Custom houses is where I started framing and I forgot how much i enjoyed doing them over the the quick ones.

 

The proper name for those "clipped gables" is a jerkinhead roof :whistling
I know you didn't make any mention of them but alot of people don't know.Plus the name is kinda funny :laughing:

Man, that looks like it'll be a PITA to install. What's your game plan?

We put a cleat on the roof at the bottom edge and drop it down with the lift. Fasten it down and thats it

 

so you just toenail it down around the edges? you'd think you'd have to nail down the bottom edge of each truss all the way across.

Man that'd be nice. We'd have to connect all of those overlay trusses with tie down straps.

I think you can see he only sheets 1 side.

 

I figured he just wasn't done sheeting it yet.

 

I sheet both sides but leave one sheet tacked for access. We have to cut holes in the main roof for ventilation to so on bigger ones we just crawl in through those

 

Sunday framing at home

 

Building yourself a nice little shop?

Was the rafter cuts at the ridge speced? Or your own doing?

 

It wasn't specified on that ridge. That ridge is hung off a larger steel ridge. Rafters on that ridge were speced to notch over. I hung the ridge in the picture off the larger ridge bottom flush like the detail showed and worked out a rafter - that was where things ended up.

That's a mile from me. Mind if I stop by?

 

Went to the lumber yard this morning to get a 4 x 12 I guess they thought it meant a giant popsicle

 

We're getting there fighting the cold weather but at least it stopped for a few days

 

Damn wind caused me to have to make emergency repair got it done one day though

 

What is with the snow and green leaves?

 

Must be an Oregon thing!

 

No green leaves here! Current temp it's 11° , today's high.

 

My thanks button is gone Mike ! Sweet van !

 

Currently doing my 2nd block for apprenticeship so i got lots of extra time to go the extra mile. Hope someday i get the chance to have to cut hips and valleys like this. We always use trusses

 

Maybe they required it for the class, but...

That double bevel plumb cut behind the birdsmouth serves no real purpose.

 

Just few pictures why not !
