I’d like some input on the following if you’d be so gracious. I’ve framed and trimmed for about 25 years+-
I’m subbing a log addition to a existing log house with a breezeway between. The addition has a 14/12
pitch ,the breezeway 5/12, all log roof framing.
There is no framing connection per se between
the roofs except at the sips panels. We have a gable roof meeting another gable roof at 90 degrees.
The 14/12 is the taller.
What’s the best book for me to review so I can get my mind wrapped around what I’m going to be seeing.
These are field cut intersections of the panels.
I know I can do strings but I’d like to see some math.
Also I don’t think the valley will be near a 45 ?
On a conventional roof 5/12 becomes a 5/17 in a valley , is this still true on steep pitches , I don’t think so ?.
The roofs are two different thicknesses , so there will be a bit of work underneath with the T&G paneling we are going to install. Finial roof is a water shield & sheet copper.
The smaller roof does not lay on top of the 14/12
but has to bisect at intersection if possible.
Thanks
