" Are those roof brackets structural load off -- they're -- decorative if ornamental they're not holding up -- not -- and waited out of -- And you already taken one out here in the corner right with thickness and out here you can replace this up here on this expanded wire after. That's an extended fly around their antivirus. It's it's not a rake. It's directed to its a rake board but the supplier after OK all right and his rotted out the first report -- you're gonna take about four feet and this out we don't have disturbed. Roof shingles OK that's right the roof shingles are medal and ABS. A lot of work to get out of work list to replace those now what about the rest of these rafter ends though they're okay good shape real good shape with the assistant. That's where those really get pressure clean and we'll really see."

" Overall idea when we pressure wash the whole cultural have a little better idea of the condition of the red what about the size of a little bit that is real that it's -- I'm pretty sure that the -- it's. The good side with the private -- get your underlying granite. And how about this detail on the bottom here on another scene that was kind of that your drip edge. Game comes over here it's a little bit loose right now but we'll put nails in an -- right -- neighborhood healthy people at the water from. From running out here and running up sucking back -- that's good stuff he had been for the -- drip -- look good and how we might sound barrier to replace one of those rafters. We'll talk about -- probably are that's the right thing right there."

" And you can see what he's taken out of here it's routed this was the piece that was up right right. Let's speak to -- of that right there is routed UT but the -- is how hard it is really hard to put an spiking and you can't -- out. But you did have some rock Giuliani -- right after this section here OK so with a situation we've got up there is is a similar the other side right exactly got a rotted extended Florida where. Cutting out cutting -- up. Some of this termite have been through here absolutely that's the main reason why we have to -- that -- now there's actually many places there had been termite damage where you couldn't really see. It. Balcony. Bracket themselves of the little bit complicated with a beveled -- and so forth. Part of making all the arts are much sense Steve here he's already got a couple cut out we cut off -- the shop it's beautiful out there. Our fifteenth when in his view on made out he made all these and you went right and we were shot -- rustic look."

" Well making a replacement brackets shouldn't be too hard writes these non -- we've got the pattern right here. We're an acoustic piece of the stock up pressure treated four by four yeah. And it was just take our. Pattern here him right on the and you're -- all evened out this is arming cut to length. And I take we're gonna mark enough right here yesterday -- to figure out what your what your -- will be -- now this angled cut here we've just gone into this. We're going to -- over here okay. I've taken and put a piece -- your guess my -- to move my four by four away from the saw blades so that you're not starting off the cut with a blade right up against the -- actually. Take going to stop here what this is -- there was a uniform cut when we bring this -- through okay -- do that right now. Received ago right."

" Have a -- travel back on the top floor of our floor and good night from the floor yeah that's the kind of -- can put on top of the fence posts to that sort of thing -- built right."

" Now what about making this -- this is about a seven you're 65 degree angle yes we've -- this -- this is about a 65 degree angle. This is a 45 substance of the four -- were only problem on the slaughter -- going to cut that now. Okay."

" Okay Bob now have a radical angles. Yeah where we're going to do about on the -- okay."

" OK so this is a 65 degree cut right. Right but kind of 65 degrees Connery are soft pretty awkward yeah you really got to pull. When difficult angles we're not to have we're going to set this up at a ninety degree hot. We'll take this I've read a couple of -- 25 degrees to 6525. That equals -- degree cut which of your right angle cut there right what we're gonna do it is cool."

" Nice thing that's of -- OK thanks a lot Steve. Putting in the new rake board in place wasn't as easy as we would have thought. We can't nail through the metal roof shingles up top so we've pre drilled some holes. This part yellow -- we've Providence and six inch groups which are now fighting those old groove boards down into place. But again a replacement part of the decorative bracket there's an easy -- you've pre drilled through this hard lumber. And then using 28 penny galvanized nails that secure the peace."

Building a Pitched Roof from the Ridge Beam and Rafters to the Shake Shingling
Building a Pitched Roof from the Ridge Beam and Rafters to the Shake Shingling

Bob opens the segment with a look at the Certainteed Landmark shingles selected for this project. Fabricated with a dragon's tooth angle, the Landmark shingles give the impression of a handsplit shake roof. Next Bob flashes back to the construction of the roof. Starting with the raising of the laminated veneer lumber (LVL) ridge beam onto the gable ends, Bob walks the viewer through the various steps in the process - laying out 20 foot 2 by 10s for the rafters, marking a ridge cut at the top of each rafter and a crow's foot at the bottom, positioning and securing the rafters to both sides of the ridge starting at the center, applying the CDX plywood sheathing followed by an ice and water barrier as underlayment for the first course of shingles, nailing on the aluminum drip edge, and finally laying out and applying the first course of shingles. Once the first course is finished, felt paper is stapled to the rest of the sheathing as underlayment. After the roofers have finished shingling all the way to the top, they add ridge vents and soffit vents to prevent moisture from building up under the shingles.

Raising Gable Ends and Cutting Rafters for Wayland Second Floor Addition
Raising Gable Ends and Cutting Rafters for Wayland Second Floor Addition

Bob and Ryley start by raising an exterior wall on the second floor. Bob and Larry Landers discuss a stiff back support for a tall wall that will be both an interior and exterior wall on the same side depending on the height. They support the wall insuring it is plumb before starting on adjacent walls and rafters. Ryley explains the cutting of a nine twelve roof angle and how to use a framing square to get the angles for the rafters.

Cutting and Laying Roof Rafters for Vaulted Roof
Cutting and Laying Roof Rafters for Vaulted Roof

Bob helps lay the rafters on the roof of the home. The rafters all follow the same cutting pattern so they can all be laid into place. After two of the guide rafters are in place, a ridge pole is put in. The ridge pole supports the upper end of the rafters and is made of laminated veneer lumber (LVL). After the ridge pole is in place, the rest of the rafters can be laid down. The rafters have a bird mouth cut. Once plywood is laid on the roof's exterior, hurricane clips will be used to secure the roof.
