I am not worried about the water runoff yet. Thats a problem to deal with once the roof is on. These are all trusses I cannot run an extension from the valley truss to the eave facia board because of how the trusses are designed there is no place to sister it in, and it sits several inchs...

I spent a few hours on it and I am making progress but it’s not perfect yet. All angles seem to be 45 but compounded. The trick is the lengths and keeping it square

Yes it appears i may have cut the 45s in the wrong direction. I am not sure what the angle is to bevel them to meet the hip, pic circled in red. Dont worry about how the facia board is off a little bit

:confused:I am looking for some guidance on how to figure out the angles on these eaves and wave returns. Here are some pics of what stage I am at and some mockups I am trying. Also attached is the picture it is supposed to look like

Awesome, good to know. Thanks!

This brings up another point, the pad the end of the stairs are sitting on is just 4” floating on grade. I was asking for the pillars for the deck, but now you have me thinking about the ends of the stairs on the pad

Yes that is the slab I have for the northeast. Is this apron standard practice for tieing in decks on a monolithic. I am just wondering if I used sonotubes 4’ if I would be doing more harm. Or if I kept the tube 2’ below and 2’ above grade. I am in well drained sandy soil

I have a 24x24 2 car sitting on a monolithic poured slab in the northeast. I would like to add my stairs/small landing from the outside up to the attic but unsure if the sonotubes should be 4’ down below the frost line since the garage floats on its slab. Thoughts/experiences? If this was...

That the plan for monday

To late for a 3 in one. But you are correct

I currently ran into a problem when putting up my girder truss and trying to run the valley truss. The bracket will not center the vally truss in the center of the inside corner Does anyone know if someone makes a off the shelf connector (simpson) that takes an inside corner and forms a 45deg...

Here is an old pic

I have an ATLAS lift 10k lift from Gregsmithequipment and i have had it for 7 yrs. I have done nothing to it and have not had a single issue.

I have done the structural design, I am a PE and building all myself. You are going to laugh but I am oiling the wood with the 15 gallons of used motor oil I have from servicing my vehicles. Prob not ideal but that’s what I am using. Actually now that I am using foam I will not oil anything

Yes I have, I actually did dig a larger footing in those areas with rebarb. I am not sure if I will do foam in the front of the slab. I may, it’s cheap but without a heated building it’s negligible on the benefits. Definitely won’t hurt. The foam is a brilliant idea and it will make my life a...
