Ive been roofing for 37 years now (7 years back home and 30 years in Europe) I never got the hang of cutting jack rafters, carpenters could never explain it to me properly! So I left them to cut and fix them all the time, the way you explained it was so straight forward, gave it a go and bobs your uncle! I amazed myself after 37 years 😂 cheers.

I've always sheeted the large side if the roof first before framing the valley, and quite often skiped the lay board. Putting my jack rafters directly into the osb... now this is fir small valleys only (under feet). Do you put valley blocking in before you sheet?

Hello Dell, good job explaining except? You screwed up your layout.. you should have pulled your 24" center or 23 1/4 x ahead from the outside of your bumped out rake board..also the degree of your angle in the valley cut is found on your speed square directly below the 7 common line from the pivot point in a straight line, your 7 comm9n long cut is actually a 7 valley long cut found up above the common reference point. Also on a framing square it is a 7, 14 not 7,12

Hi Mark. Thanks for your great comments.🤩 You're exactly right about slightly overcutting the seat cut. If you look closely you can see in the video that they were not quite perfect.😵. I missed a few things off like compound jack cuts doing both sides and using a string to line in the ridge on longer truss runs. We really were pressed for time as there is a particularly awkward resident who records noise levels and reports us to the council.💩 Thanks for watching and your comments.😎Cheers.

Great video, i have just completed my extension roof and this help me out. So clear and easy to follow.

Great video almost exactly how I would have done it .. I would normally use a string to get the ridge centre.. please do more as a chippy who works on his own it's great to see how others work and the techniques

Hi David. You have make an excellent point about using a string to line in the ridge, and had the run of trusses been longer, I would have done.😎 The ridge line of the three trusses was not particularly good, so thought it would be better to just eye it in.👀 Its hard to think about other circumstances in which you would use a different approach, when they're not right in front of you.😬 What is so cool about this video, is the comments from guys like you, which really add an extra dimension to it.😎 I too, mostly work on my own, so its cool for me to hear that I'm doing it, pretty much, the same as everyone else.😀 Thanks for your comment and for watching.👍

Excellent. I learned and enjoyed your explanation. Well done.
