Our next project was the truncated hip. Using the roof we had already built for the dorma window, we installed a new plate cutting of the corner of the hip. We then went back to the got the workbook and calculators out figured out our cuts and measurements following the instructions on the work book. Rhys and myself had a little bit of trouble trying to work out the edge cut for the basted hips but then realised it would be half the edge cut for the creeper rafters on the normal roof for that pitch as the new hip is bisecting that angle again. It was an excellent little project that highlighted the skills we've obtained over the last few weeks in the advanced roofing.
