roof

The last few days have been great, learning heaps and cant wait to take it all back on site. We've been looking at the different members of the roof, their cuts and how to work them all out using math. I now thoroughly understand how to use the hancock roofing tables as well as learning a few very useful equations using cos and tan to calculate the rise and run of rafters and shortening for the creepers. Yesterday we spent most of the day doing the brown paper drawings which focused on different struts and the standatds that apply to them and I got a lot out of that because the struts is the one remaining part of the roof that I haven't had much to do with on site (usually chriso goes on with that while i do the eaves). Overall i very happy with what i've learnt overthe last couple of days
