Dormer Construction: Rafters
It's New Year's Eve and today was even more annoying than yesterday. I thought the installation of the rafters (sloped roof beams) would be fast, but it ended up taking all day. The problem was again the geometry--both Jimmy and M. were getting confused by the slopes and installing the rafters at funny angles. Fortunately I noticed before it was too late--but by the time they got it right they had done it three times.
