New Rafters: The rafters start out as a pile of 2X6.
Rafter layout: Then I mark out the desired shape.
New rafters cut: There is the new design - all cut and ready to install.
Before shot: Time to open it back up and replace the framing.
Out with the old: Old framing just before removal.
Ventilation: How's that for a large roof vent. Eat your heart out Fantastic Fan and Maxx-Air!
Partly replaced: Some of the new rafters are sitting in place.
Front view: The whole back is in place - just a few more to go,
Front: Close up of the front. (That's my daughter standing in there)
New roof framed: That was a good days work! All framed up & ready for ceiling panels.
Roof framing: Another shot - Note the slope from the 1X3 runners down to the edge.
Roof framing: Closer view of the new rafters.
Roof framing: Low down shot to see the pitch of the roof better.
Fridge vent: Have to remember to seal this up good inside.
A/C opening: This ought to hold up the A/C without deflection!
Inside view: There's that big open ventilation system again. Hope it never rains in again!
