my gables? dutch, of course


people keep pestering me to finish this thing but then keep pulling me away for random bullshit that i don't need to be present for which is really aggravating me, but i think they're slowly getting the hint that i can't do a hundred things at the same time and also this which is nice
this is the exact spec of the previous roof, only modified slightly for reinforcement on the longer windows, and man is it weird. i sat down at first for about an hour drawing 3d triangles and none of my trig derivations worked irl (forgive me lach ;_;) so instead i just started with the common rafters and messed with the miter saw until the angles worked, and took the birds mouth measurements in situ which somehow worked out
about to do the jack rafters on the other side which will be difficult because those rafters are very warped but i'll be able to use the birds mouth to correct the skew. i have seen cooked spaghetti straighter than some of these boards man
