Re: Craftsman Style roof presents some challenges

I've been designing houses for over 24 years and must congratulate you for doing what the architect should have done with regard to load conditions.

I've seen this happen a lot. Very few want to get out in the field and get dirty.

And the client didn't appreciate it huh? But boy would they complain if the roof sagged after a couple of years. It's just the nature of our business.

Very nice job.
