   Gene, I'm sorry, but I don't understand the Q.  Both rafters span the same distance if they both start at the plate line.  Are you looking for rafter lengths?  I this a trick, because most of the information is included in your drawing, isn't it.  I don't get it.

   This was a quiz question for the framer apprentices amongst us.  You missed your cue, so no attaboy for you this time.

   Now give me 50 pushups and cut 10 rafter tails with your Swiss army knife.

                 Ah a roof question........ let me hi jack if you will. I know you can get rafters pre-fab for a job, like for a standard building with gables but do they do the same for a hip roof design? Or will it need to be stick built.
