    Default Rafters

    Hi All

    Any tips for getting uncoupled rafters right? Its obviously a case of cutting the angle at the top end to meet the ridge beam and then the birdsmouth to sit over the top plate ...

    It sort of looks easy to screw up, so any trade secrets appreciated.

    Thanks.
