" in the second floor in the master bedroom, orient us there."

" We're in this area here. The ocean's out here and we're in this master bedroom area here. Now, that's, that's a hip roof that we're gonna frame there.-"

" This is a true hip proof right here that's cracked, and this is gonna be all exposed TNG."

" Oh really?"

" So there would be no dry wall in that area at all."

" What's this huge timber that's on the floor here? Is that part of it?"

" This actually is the hip rafters."

" It is."

" This is a 6 x 12, 30 feet long."

" Only in the west do we see beautiful lumber like this. So this is actually the hip rafters that will go from"

" This will go from the corner here."

" From the corner of the house"

" All the way across. There would be a king post on top of this header over here."

" Okay, and then are the rafter ends being left exposed?"

" The rafters are gonna have a detailed cut on them."

" Oh really, a real nice detail of the architecture is [unk] Spanish colonial."

" Just look at that."

" Yeah, that's [unk]."

" Yeah, let's look at that."

" Hey Rock."

" C'mon, can you stop a second?"

" Okay."

" How did you make these? How you cut these out?"

" Well what we did is we had these, these are the 4 x 10s, these would be jack rafters."

" Ah."

" It's part of the roof."

" You had a template, huh?"

" We have a template, and we stacked this all up. The architect actually gave us a template first, and we transferred it on to a piece of OSB so that we can use this to cut out our rafters."

" These are oriented strand or [unk] piece of scrap."

" Right."

" So, you've made 3 to 4 different cuts already, huh?"

" Right. What we've done is we racked the rafters. All these rafters will be together like this-"

" Uh huh. We lay out the rafters. This is called the bird's mouth or the C-cut."

" When this is upside down, this is part of the rafter that sits on the top blade of the [unk]."

" This bears on the wall, that's correct."

" And then over here, we've got a notch."

" This detail here is part of the detail the architectural detail that we have on the rafter tail."

" And now we're putting in scrawls, kind of an old cheek cut on the end of it with a wonderful tool. Let's start to go back to work there."

" Portable [unk], portable [unk]. That is an excellent tool. Okay. I bet [unk] would appreciate it if we'd carry some of these upstairs."

" I'm sure you would."

" Right. Alright. Now, what kind of a cut is that at the opposite end of the rafters from there?"

" Yeah. We've got a cheek cut above on the top end here."

" Cheek?"

" That cheek cut is a compound minor cut."

" Okay."

" It's got 2 different planes, that's all it means."

" Yeah."

" The angles are cut both from the horizontal and the vertical line."

" Right, right."

" So let's look at the big picture here. Why are they putting this first rafter up against the wall?"

" They're putting this rafter up so they can get the exact height of the hips, where the hip needs to come in."

" Now, the hip is this?"

" This timber right here."

" This timber right here, which is a 300-foot long, 6 x 12."

" 6 x 12."

" And that also has a cheek cut on [unk]."

" We've got enough guys here to lift this."

" Well I hope so."

" We're gonna do, gonna use physics here."

" Okay. Oh good. Nice job. Okay. Okay now, this is just temporarily held in place up there by that 2 x 4. All of the other jack studs, I mean jack rafters are all cut, pre-cut with the same cheek cut."

" This is a cheek cut, that's correct and if I bring this up an angle, once he gets to the point where he intersects with the hip"

" Yeah."

" You'll see that this is a plumb cut here and 45-degree angle cut here."

" Okay. Now, this is all being assembled with He's gonna come back down and he's gonna go into the C-cut. Gonna come out, there we go. There we go."

" This is all being assembled with temporary"

" With temporary [unk]"

" block."

" This all gets hard [unk] where did you get [unk] together?"

" Exactly, that's right."

" Also the metal scraps that go on."

" That's correct."

" Now, it's only at the 250-pound capacity. Great. Now that really gives you a perfect, you know, perfect vision of what this hip roof is all about."

" That's exactly where"

" You see all the rafters and beautiful framing."

" Yeah, it is beautiful framing. It basically is the same kind of framing that was done a couple of hundred years ago."

" Right, right."

" Now, what's next? The sheets?"

" The next thing is we put a 2 x 6 TNG sheeting on that. That remains exposed also."
