First Rafter
June 11, 2020
Today I got the first rafter up.

I marked the locations where using rafter hangers will be located.

I created a jigs that make it easy to mark where the boards need to be cut.

I made one for each end so all you have to do is run a tape-measure 15′ between them and trace the lines.

I’m very glad I opted for structural screws over nails. Trying to drive nails by hand 18ft off the ground would have been miserable.

My daughter helped me get the first rafter into place.
