" One note. It. -- we got a lot of wind good. All right pretty tired. K sailors act are bright -- redneck but -- but didn't. Don't go to OKK one -- area to. Yeah you want to put in at least three report report -- we do have a good of the wind absolutely yeah. All right now this is the body gable end wall isn't -- Well it's actually. -- half the gable and walls when it tilts up the part that's below. This the stud part that you see is actually in the inside of the halls yes that's the entire wall area exactly where the cathedral ceiling creates the height in the living room and this will have sheet rock on it drywall. What's this what's -- we call that stepped back it's when you when you. Have studs that don't go all the way up yeah I Angela yes this continues all the way across. And we have a break in the frame that we don't have the studs go all the way across you put this stiff back in correct. And that way you don't have to worry about it. Kind of folding as you're raising the loan this will eventually be removed them. Right what do you think about off all the work that's been done here to -- really makes sense to do this before lifting the wall up definitely this is just what you want to do you want to get as much done -- wall's on the ground as he can't say don't. Hang up in the air doing -- for the party -- the -- while -- on and it got me -- trend line -- it and look real important is at a job back trying to -- around so it's really sales only put primer paint alcohol based paint on both sides of that trim board that's right and that'll make sure that there's no appealing there eventually you have moisture coming -- united way are we ready to take this one -- I would just have already bought. That wind is really coming up. That's about it and OK Ron Reagan why I'm so rarely. Slowly. My job for nail. I'm going to the wall. It -- I have a block right there Ryley tank it off. All right now. How we gonna get the rigid -- there. Well Bob I'm going to -- Pick that little block all -- okay and the top of that gabled and yet -- embargo would put a dead man we call them hold up two by twelve ridge. Temporarily. So that we can install the rear rafters. And through four foot sections on either side of this roof deck yeah they'll have rafters going up right with a bearing wall yeah they're -- inhaling. It's a complicated kind that yo dieting without it again frame let's get started. Then."
" Well the ridge is not in place yet that we could precut the rafters how -- figure the angle that the the rafter meets the ridge fluff Bob we're gonna use a framing square yeah and we know that we're going to put up and 912 pitch meaning that. Horizontally for every twelve inches you come in -- going to be going up nine inches right -- take framing square. Senate nine inches from the inside here. Twelve inches. In the -- twelve pitch and so that's where you make your cuts will cut rates. How do you figure the distance from the red. Down to the top of the wall well that's called the run Bob -- iPod without this training triangle. And and I would go back to the framing Gramm -- right under nine. Is the run it will be you pick a clean it. This isn't there and you multiply that multiply -- times the band right that's I'm going. OK that's where the rafter meets the walls. And that's great and now the cut that you have to make is called the bird's mouth is the bird's mouth and not crow's foot also right that's right yeah they colored folks around here. I to put it so that we have about three and a half inches. I've cut on the backside that would allow us to covenant to double place. All right Capitol Hill right to a home in nine to twelve we hall towards the ridge again working with a framing square from the nine in the twelve right is that and then when these. Cross it's not a vacuum reference point. That way and that that there would just cut that out or not."
