Porch Rafters
June 17th, 2006
We’ve had two days rained out this week and another day lost to a trip to Salisbury for supplies that we couldn’t get locally. So we were happy to have a sunny Friday to get back to construction. Today was porch roof rafters day.
First we built the little stub wall that extends up from the top-plate of the main east-side wall to meet the underside of the porch/stairwell roof rafters. Then Marshall did some quick calculations and cut the rafters. That was complicated by the fact that the stairwell extends out a little farther than the porch, but the roof over both will be the same plane. Anyway … he cut the “birds-mouths” on the rafters and it all fit correctly. Good job Marshall.
I hauled the rafters up to the second floor and installed some of them. I’ll try to finish the rest tomorrow.
Yours truly standing in the “loft” of the upstairs bedroom:
