EARTH ART AND FOODS |
With all the top plates in place and the wall studs nailed in, we started to cut and nail the rafters in place. With two people the job takes a lot less time. |
We used 6X6 posts at 4 feet high to support the ridgepole which is made from two treated 2X6 nailed together. |
The rafters are regular 2X6 sixteen inches apart. |
Because the timbers have various bows and imperfections, we marked and cut the first rafter and used it as template. Adjustments to the concomitant rafters were made when necessary. |
