I built those temporary frames to hold the ridge board...Then I measured and cut my first rafter... Angles, seat cut, tail length, etc... So I went up to see if the rafter fit, but I had the ridge board about 5 and a half inches too high, I did not account for the 2 x 6 that I nailed the frames to that hold the ridge board... So I decided to call it a day! The rafter though looks like it will fit like a charm, so who knows, maybe I'll get the roof up tomorrow... Time will tell... :)

Have I mentioned that I HATE heights??
Hating heights and working on a roof is not a good combination! Especially when you're handicapped by a thumb!!
Good luck with that! Although I'm sure it will look nice when you're done!
I wish I could just stay home from work and do my projects! ;-)
LOL! Yeah, me too! I manage though with only one thumb, and I go to physical therapy starting tomorrow to see if I can get it working again, we'll see how that works out... :)
I have only one thing to say, BE CAREFUL!!!!! :)
Well at least your getting it done... Wish I could be there to help but I am covered up.
