Great explanation from a top quality tradesmen. As an experienced carpenter myself I know how tricky these roofs can be. I've always called them clipped hips or dutch gable roofs as they are all the same angle. A barstard hip is two different pitches coming together on a hip. Also the plumbed height from the back of the plate to the top of the rafter, l was taught it was called the rafter backing angle. Have a great Christmas and keep these great videos coming.

Brilliant explanation from Rich on this very challenging roof design. Who knew he could be a mathematician unless Matt was guiding him when he was not scraping the ice of his wood......I mean timber.

[@achobby]

All the best for Christmas and new year guys , have a good one

[@m0aze611]

Fantastic viewing at 06:00 in the morning. Compelling . Merry Christmas 🎄🎄🎄

[@Choochoo1981]

Quality Rich as always and as they say the devils in the detail mate. Merry Christmas and all the best for 2025

[@MikaMikaMika89]

Every channel does things their own way, you like explaining, that's how you do you, so... you do you!

[@woody123930]

This shows why its called a barstard roof without a shadow of doubt. The main point is you guys showed it aint easy and the attention to detail is second to none. I bet your roofers love you as the first fix is spot on.

[@timothycoles42]

I love watching your videos. You explain every aspect of the job. My daughter has just had a hip roof done on her extention and the guys have done a superb job setting it into the existing roof, blends in so well. Watching this has now made me realise how complicated it can be. Im a sparky so Im the one who comes in and takes all the glory 😁. The poor old chippy's work is mostly unseen. well done guys keep them coming and have a great christmas.

[@chrisfisher2839]

A Bastard roof that was a Bastard to follow if you aren’t in the building trade. Well done Richard for explaining but my brain still went boom. Hope you boys have a well deserved Christmas break 👏

[@paulf2529]

You did a good job explaining.

[@nathturn3869]

Using the shorter king rather you could have worked out the half span to then work out where the hips are going. You don’t need the string lines, just some me simple maths. Correct me if I’m wrong as not being there I can’t be 💯 sure I’m seeing it correctly. You could also work it from the height differences of the two plates

[@billyg736]

aspiring joiners would do well watching Rich, me i watch this for the entertainment value. talk as much as you like mate.thanks..

[@dccowell56]

You got to be the best builders iv seen, and I was in the building for 50y/Dave-Worcester

[@pwithnall]

Great explanations, thanks for another great video. I don’t think you talk too much!

[@bryanlogue8035]

It's amazing if I remember back to day one on this job. I never fully understood the magnitude of what was required. What a big job, and you boys are knocking it out of the park. Merry Christmas, lads !

[@drsmith6595]

Did you see how good the cuts & joints were on that hip woodwork, great job Rich 👏

[@drsmith6595]

PS. I forget to say 🤦‍♂️ Adam & Rich, a very Merry Christmas to you & your families 👍

[@andycornish9704]

great work pal 👏👏👏👏👏

[@kevincorbin6273]

Nice work! I’ve framed many Bastard Hips over the years and they’re always a challenge, Well Done!

[@tkthebear984]

Well that roof looked a right pig to do and Rich has done a quality job especially in the cold weather 🥶. Fantastic episode, I loved it 😁👍

[@gavw4506]

You had me 😂 at the air quotes. Looks class 👌🏻

[@MattBlacInc]

What an incredible video Rich. Not many in depth KZbin videos covering a step by step guide on how to complete this type of complex roof. Keep up the good talk through videos especially the roofing ones. Merry Christmas to you all Rich,Adam, Matt and the young Aussie. Up the POMS.

[@wayneevans2605]

Roofers don't know how easy they've got it.. Wow what an amazing job as always from you boys.. Enjoy your time of you've deserved it but don't do nothing I wouldn't do wink wink but most of all big love to you and your familys and thanks for your time.. 🎉

[@noelkenny7504]

Super work as always happy Christmas to you and your family’s

[@way661]

Could of done it with my eyes closed 😉😂 Top job! Looks great! Happy Christmas to all you guys!

[@mattjones1383]

Well done guys it’s easy to look once it’s all constructed and say its easy to do but figuring it out first ain’t so easy Looks great professional craftsmanship 👍🏻

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Nice one, Matt. Appreciate that. Hope all is well your end?

[@markgoldstein4110]

Great job on the roof your a professional

[@simoncarney9944]

Nicely explained Rich, even though some (a lot!) of it went over my head! 😮 I did wonder what happened to the wall and wall plate that extended past the hip rafters? I caught a very slight glimpse of it at the end. Have a great Christmas all of you and I’ll see you whenever you’re back.

[@colintopgun2504]

Nice job looks Fantastic

[@naths_9mr590]

You do talk a lot rich. But valid as its very informative. I've learnt a few tricks myself from you so keep on talking. If the moaners want to just watch go and sit at the fence of a building site and watch lol

[@matthewmabbott6912]

Thanks

[@Peter-ho1os]

Over my head (pun intended) but loved watching it. Great tuition and entertainment.

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Thank you! Cheers man.

[@samsungcrossland2036]

Nice job happy Christmas everyone 🎅🥳🎁🎄

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Thank you mate and same to you.

[@robertmorris5214]

Fantastic video

[@cbuts9240]

You you clearly know what you are doing rich, great job but the hip is always 45degrees if both pitches are the same, after the higher plate height has been transfered onto the rafter as you done initially you can just measure the same height above plate on the side of that rafter as the height above plate on the higher rafter and that is the centre of your hip and just measure in from your lower plate to that line. Just saves stringing the lines round. Well done again.

[@neild7971]

Thanks so much for putting together your great videos. I’m reroofing my house in the next months and am interested in the bearing on the wall plate, with the 65mm birds mouth there’s some loss of bearing, is that ever a problem? wondering if the rafters are overspec-ed in your case and so your aren’t worried but with a larger span it would need full bearing? Thanks!

[@smiffy3953]

Would geometry be your specialist subject on Mastermind? As usual another great video. Thanks.

[@markgoldstein4110]

Great job 😁👍

[@itsmrfish1]

Fantastic

[@hammy228]

You amaze me , I can plumb and gas all day but wood and stuff just confuses me 😂😂😂

[@woodlandtroll4976]

Great roofing vid

[@markobrien4940]

Great job richard well done just wondering though how the facia board looked all way round was it level or at different hight from the front to the 2 sides as its hard to see that in the video at the end however great job well done .😊😊

[@alanreeves459]

Another great video 👍 Well done getting the explanation across, not an easy job

[@neilbissett1240]

Fantastic guys 🤔👏😎

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Cheers Neil. Hope you're well, mate.

[@Giant.Iain171]

Excellent stuff, great to see how you work it all out, and then see it all work out exactly as you calculated! I would’ve liked to have seen how you finished the corners near near the hip, i can see you would’ve had to cut back the end wall block work slightly, but what then? Did you add Jack rafters until in line with the end wall plate? There wasn’t a clear shot of it when Adam did the last walk round and I can’t picture it in my head.

[@thechrissyb]

Fortunately last bastard i cut the plate was only 80mm higher. Fascias came round spot on though.

[@frankyates7910]

would have like to have seen the corner finish where the two levals meet????

[@michaelhomer5155]

Love the safety glasses Rich wears and are these prescription or fixed lenses?

[@w.o.o.d.y]

Huge difference on that site now guys, nice one. Any update on BCH donations please ?? and have I missed the prize draw for the wallets ?? Anyway, have a great Christmas guys and thanks for all the videos you gave us this year !!

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Hello Woody. Yes mate the draw has taken place and the winners notified via the comments section of the competition video, although only two have come forward up to now. I didn't want to announce it in case we get people emailing us saying that they are someone that they are not because their name and email may have no correlation to their KZbin handle! I know I know, I'm an over-thinker! As for the BCH donations, we have some HUGE news about that and all will be revealed on Christmas Day! Cheers mate, hope you're well.

[@livingladolcevita7318]

I don't know but that ridge looked about 2mm out of level from where I was looking!!😉😉😉😉🤣🤣🤣 Have a great Christmas guys Nadolig Llawen a Blwythyn Newydd Dda

[@amazing451]

Good job explaining all that Rich, had to watch some points a few times to understand them. I understand that your hip didn't bisect in the corner like a normal hip would because of the height differences in the wallplates, but I always thought that a Bastard hip is a roof that occurs when the pitches of the common rafters are different each side of the hip, because the span of the common rafters are unequal to each other. However, on that roof all the 3 pitches were 32 degrees and the span of the common rafters were the same. Would this technically be classed as a Bastard Hip because normally the jack rafters hit the hip rafter at different points on each side of the hip rafter with Bastard hips ?

[@leeedwards9994]

yay mr a not watched yet but i do know what a bastard is regards roofing of course ...... havnt seen the sunday one yet either getting slack here ....... hope you had a good week so far .......

[@davidcoates9123]

Has anyone else's brain exploded with the maths involved with this roof?.

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Years ago mate, can't you tell?!!

[@howestimothy7820]

It has become clear to me that carpenters are really therorticak mathematicians with beanie hats on. Euclid would be proud! 😢

[@Jazzy-xr1sz]

Yep!! totally get what you were saying … 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤯

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Easy isn't it!

[@Jazzy-xr1sz]

@ when you know how!

[@lesart1]

When i was learning my trade...... (35yrs a brickie) my old boss used to tell me ur eyes are as good as a level so use them....

[@lazylad8544]

You need a degree in geometry to put timbers in. That's probably why I was crap at carpentry 👍👍

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Haha! How's things mate?

[@jamesblair4709]

Sorry but a bastard hip roof is where two different angles come together and you compensate the outside corner to marry round so soffit and facia retain the same size, this is a jerkinhed roof, where the angle of each roof is equal but the end wall of the hip is located further in.

[@Mr_A_Builders]

It was more of an associated roof play on words James because it was a bastard to do. I am aware of the details of an actual bastard roof but we’ve got to get the views in somehow 😁🎄👍🏻

[@jamesblair4709]

@Mr_A_Builders I appreciate the honesty but feel the lack of knowledge to type of roof, and the misleading video description will not help any other youngsters or tradesmen who hit an issue with a real bastard hip and will not find this video helpful. Call the video what it actually is and teach people especially if your description says watch and learn! Your videos are generally ok and produce good info for trades and diy.

[@paulf2529]

I rekon that would have taken me twice the time atleast to do the calculations. Personally, with roof cuts as indeed anything complex, i like to write everything down on a a4 note pad, very easy otherwise to start scribling on offcuts and bits of card etc and get confused.

[@tomschevette]

One job I hate is roofs. It's the maths I hate. 😂

[@Mr_A_Builders]

Haha! Can't say it's one of my strongest subjects either, mate!

[@ianedwards9136]

Would it not of been easier, look better and give more loft room to have a gable or Dutch gable instead of a hip. Hips are so much work and look boring 😁😁😄

lovely job ,shame its all covered up !!!
