For everyone's reference, hurricane ties go on the outside of the building to prevent role over of the top plate during lift. It doesn't matter in this case because you would also need straps from the top plate to the wall 2x4s and to the foundation. His install is fine for a shed but it instills a technique you can't use anywhere else.

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

For framing, we typically hold back the 3/4" on the first stud or rafter to hit the 4' or 8' material edge. And it would have been easier to set that ridge board 1/4" off center to make the rafters all the same length. Just some thoughts for the viewers.

[@ronlovell5374]

Yup, that's why you see him scab on extra wood later when his layout doesn't line up!

[@methanial73]

Personally I like a overhang to keep water off the sides. Keeps mold/mildew at bay and virtually eliminates leaks.

[@allanyoza723]

2’ to 3’ overhang is ideal to protect siding, and ability to keep windows open during rain, to keep sunlight off interior surfaces, furniture, storage items, etc.

[@methanial73]

[@1portacath]

Correct. They're not just for looks.

[@Fjord_Driver]

21:40 Good point. Especially important when hiring contractors to redo a asphalt shingle roof. Say if some of the roof decking was needing replacement and was removed. And then they started dropping bundles of shingles on the ridge, shaking the whole house with every drop. A few days after the job is complete, it's windy out and you hear some strange sounds on the side of the house. You go out back to have a look, and surprise, ten feet of the aluminum soffit has dropped out of place and is blowing in the breeze. Fun. Is that section of the wall no longer plumb now because of the dropping of stacks of shingles on the ridge. They did that while some of the decking was removed. Don't know. But all the movement caused by that, resulted in an additional problem. Russian roofing crew. Nail gun Vlad was fast. So fast, the upon checking the underside areas in the attic where new decking was laid down, the nailing of the decking completely missed the roof framing. I guess that is why it's called air nailing.

[@papascruffy]

I'm not used to no birds mouth and an overhang, personally a steeper pitch as well but looks good!

Pitch kinda depends on the roof covering and local regs might limit the height of building. I'm guessing he skipped the birds mouth to make this a simpler DIY example

[@bryanbaldwin8910]

Don't feel bad about that rafter blocking. It is still technically a structural element in that location as a load path transfer mechanism of any lateral loading from the roof sheathing down to the top plate and into the shear resisting wall below. Not quite a super critical element for a small shed like this, but the "bonus" nails weren't totally wasted as they will increase the structural redundancy of the overall system ✌

[@brucemartini2288]

my last house, I was about to attempt extending patio roof. I wanted it to match roof slope. Used no Math or anything. my idea, I took short 12" piece of 2x4. held it vertical to roofs edge. put a dot on right edge, on low end. Put dot on left edge high side. Drew line conncting dots. [ \ ] cut the angle. flipped board over on 2 "planes"-🔄🔃. it created roofs pitch😁😁

[@brucemartini2288]

use small clamps too hold tape measure to board

[@barryjohnston8993]

What made you chose shingles over metal for the roof? was it purely driven by cost or are there other factors to consider? Love this series btw. I'm planning to replicate this is the Spring.

[@amirmostafavi.m]

Hi Jeff and Matt, love your team work. Few questions: 1. What if you cut rafters shorter and then use one piece of 2x4 instead of blocking pieces? 2. Is it not necessary to use any kind of rafter hanger on the ridge end? 3. Could you cut the end of the rafter in a way that it sits flush on your bottom plate to avoid the hurricane tie? 4. What size of construction screw do you use? Number/length Cheers!

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

just trying to create a natural watershed so we don't have to seal it up waterproof. but your idea is a very legitimate solution. cut flush to the wall and use the 2x4 as a rim board to create the overhang. would have saved a ton of time for sure. In this video we are showing the traditional way in case you want a larger overhang with soffit. Cheers!

[@TViper2369]

@@HomeRenoVisionDIY A question in regards to this, and maybe it's something you've covered over the years and I missed it. Would like to build a similar shed, however I want to do my ridge board from front to back and then have a lean on each side. The question, is there a good and easy way to tie in the roof of the lean to the main structure? I'd prefer to tie the roof together if possible, rather than nailing a board across the side of the shed and putting the lean joists on top of that. Hopefully that question makes sense.

[@robeckel4965]

Nice.

[@jdmarban8406]

What did you do while it was raining? Did you cover it so it would not get wet?

[@robkwit]

If you are worried about the roof bowing the walls, just use a stronger ridge beam on posts. Load is transferred thru the ridge beam and posts. That way you don't need to use collars and you can have an open vaulted ceiling, more space for storage.

[@mattlee3400]

I’m not a builder but watch a lot of these videos. I live in a house that was built in 1947 and noticed my ridge board in the attic is literally a 1/6 or 8. Was that common practice back then. Doesn’t seem like enough support to me. This house has made it through hurricanes and all kinds of stuff for so many years. I guess it’s fine

[@TheGuruStud]

That's rough cut, hardwood, and older growth with tight grain. It's several times stronger than the trash, today. As long as everything is tied together well enough, it's not gonna blow away. It'll have to be ripped to shreds piece by piece.

[@zinoorr1056]

What size nails do you use to secure the plywood decking?

[@abacuordonez3097]

I learn how make a. Roof. Tank you

[@Frieslick]

I’d personally go one nail on either side of your block, diagonal into the rafter. Just needs to be pinned in if it’s cut tight enough; but it’s good that you go overkill when winging it, because too much is far better than not enough when you’re (or your client is) investing good money into a structure.. Belt & braces is never the wrong method, just sometimes less economical. It may cost more, but it’s that ‘extra effort & quality, over cost’ mentality that ensures ancient architectural marvels still stand today, while a modern day kit home will have perished within 50-70 years.

[@FHL-Devils]

Curious if you would recommend using an engineered 2x6x16' instead of natural lumber, it would get rid of the crowning issue, and it just seems to prevent a lot of problems, for a price premium that is relatively insignificant for one piece out of the project.

[@Thumbsdwn]

It really does just come down to cost/availability. Comparatively, the engineered beam will most likely cost 5x that of a regular 2x, so if you want to spend the money to make your life easier (and ridge stronger) go for it.

[@HomeRenoVisionDIY]

I get it, however availability for many folks just isn't reasonable. So I like to build showing the problems most folks will run into. but a great solution for sure if you can get one. Cheers!

[@ajs96350]

That would take trial and error to figure out. 1st thing I would do is measure width of walls and see if there is a difference, the way it's supposed to be done is you can pre cut rafters using math, cut your ridge to length and set all 4 corner rafters and slide your ridge into position and check level of the ridge, if your walls are true and level then ridge will be level. I suspect the floor was built off level to begin with causing the ridge to be off.

[@slunk007]

[@cfcgregd]

Using those hurricane brackets to avoid making a bird's mouth seems to increase the cost in order to avoid making that simple cut. I think if I was going to have a bracket on the rafter I would put it on the beam side to make working at the top easier by just setting the rafter "in the slot", so to speak, but you much more than me, a weekend amateur who is building a 10 x 16 shed, as we speak.
