I’m adding an addition to my shed and need to gable the roof into my shed but have been watching video after video and just couldn’t figure out the math until I saw your video, man thanks I’m going out this afternoon and finish it , you made this so simple I kinda feel stupid, thanks again
love all the shortcuts....makes it really simple you can precut the ridge angle on all the boards you'll need....then you just have to set saw up once for seat cut....the next piece will have a common denominator to the one before....if the second rafter was 6 1/2" (example) shorter than the first than the third one will be the 6 1/2" shorter than the second.....so on and so forth you can cut them all at one go and install.....try to find ways to limit the amount of switching the angles on the saw
Well done sir, I'm no carpenter, so I needed a simpler explanation, nicely done. Your volume was a little too low for my old ears, needed to use my headphones, and turn up to max. volume. It was worth it though, thanks again, hope to see you around some more. Happy New Year Gary.
u keep it so simple and easy to understand. i watched few other videos or younger ones that does this and they go into math and all these terms like wtf i just want to build a roof not geting a PHD in roofing. thats so nice of u to put nails through your roof for a video. i wouldn't never do that
Great explanation, Uncle Gary. Is there a guide that tells me what size lumber I need to use? I would like to put one of these gable type roofs over my 2nd floor deck. It would be about 14' off the house and about 24' wide. Man, if you were near Atlanta I would hire you.
Yes there. is, you will need look up the local building code for your area. Different areas have different building codes. In my area we build to hod things up (for snow load) and my daughter lives close to the ocean and needs to build to hold things down ( for high wind loads) You can find your state building at iccsafe.org You will also find out what size the headers need to be also Good luck researching your question FYI when I went through code enforcement officer training the instructor said that "the code gives you the instructions to build the crappiest house legally " What he was saying you can always build better than what the code calls for.
you taught the material so very well... personally, I could use less of the crazy moving text graphics (hold it still for those of us that don't suffer from attention deficit syndrome), and the music got really tiring pretty quickly! But I loved how you taught it!
I don't know. You will need to check with your local town or county code enforcement office and ask them. I do have some advice, I built a little reverse gable over an entrance way and tried to cheat, I put it on top of the existing shingles thinking with enough roof cement it wouldn't leak. I was wrong. I had to strip back some of the shingles and weave them onto the reverse gable to make it dry. Good luck
depends upon the size of the material, there is a building code in the international building code that covers fastener size and placement. icc.org I believe is the website
i wondered how you make sure the ridge beam is straight. does it matter if the shingles overhanging at edge of the roof are a little off? i guess it could only be off about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. that'd be ok?
Thank you Gary for being so nice to help us understand something complex in such an easy way.
Gary, this is awsome. I finally learned how to cut a roof without complicated math.

Great to hear I could help!
Wow! Simple and this video removed some anxiety I had about doing this room addition myself. Thanks again Gary!!!
Thanks for showing us how to do it the simpler way, great video keep showing us more
Thanks, will do!

Yes you are 100% correct. This way no math involved for people not wanting math
ive been looking for a good keep it simple video on this. you da man. this is just what i wanted
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. You made it easy to follow your steps!
Thanks again!
You're very welcome!

Thank you for a wonderful video. I am unclear as to how to lay the dead valleys and how the rafter layout on the valley board is measured.
Thanks uncle Gary learned a lot today hopefully me and my broday don’t mess it up
I hope so too!
Uncle Gary That was amazing
thank you
I like your construction methods, easy, quick and simple
Thank You for easiest technical that I learned
glad to hear you enjoyed the video
Video is good and informative.
Thanks for watching!
I like how you used the framing square to find your 24 on center that always a bit tricky for me on a hip and especially a long run.
thanks
Love the music and Keeping It Simple!
thanks will do
I learned another easiest way from you I wish i could do some carpentry skills from the professional like you
Wow, thanks
Would like to see the valley boards under the ridge for more snow load dispersement.
Yes you are correct. This video was about the process of cutting the rafters.
Thanks for the comment.
Nice work
Appreciate it!
Excellent in your explanation; make it for any person to understand
Glad you liked it
I love the music and your hat.
thanks
Thanks for making it simple!!
You're welcome!
Thank you. I’m adding a deck roof to my house and this is exactly what I’m looking for.
Glad it was helpful!
I subscribed to your channel a while back. I learn from your builds good music to. 👍👍✌️
I appreciate that

You can find your state building at iccsafe.org
You will also find out what size the headers need to be also
Good luck researching your question

What he was saying you can always build better than what the code calls for.
Nicely done!
I like the way you make it so simple,
How did you learn to do it like that?
I try
Thanks

Nice !!! I’m a follower
Thank you
How do you connect the walls and ceiling joists of an addition tying to a hip roof?
Now that what I call common sense without measuring so much.😊
Thanks for the comment
Good job
I tried
Thank you I not good with math and this just Simplie everything
nice to hear I helped
How do you find the pitch when it's a hip roof.....?
Can i do this on my roof over my front door without a permit? I just want to make my extremely plain hip roof look better.
I don't know. You will need to check with your local town or county code enforcement office and ask them.
I do have some advice, I built a little reverse gable over an entrance way and tried to cheat, I put it on top of the existing shingles thinking with enough roof cement it wouldn't leak. I was wrong. I had to strip back some of the shingles and weave them onto the reverse gable to make it dry.
Good luck
@@unclegarybuilds2023 Ok, Thank you!
What kind of nails did u use for going into the rafters tho? 4 inch?
depends upon the size of the material, there is a building code in the international building code that covers fastener size and placement. icc.org I believe is the website
i wondered how you make sure the ridge beam is straight. does it matter if the shingles overhanging at edge of the roof are a little off? i guess it could only be off about 1/4 to 1/2 inch. that'd be ok?
Can you help me build a patio roof connecting to the back of my house?
sorry too busy
"thank you"!🎶🎶🎶🎶😉
The house has a hip roof and eves in the back.
No details skipping from one thing to the other.
That effing music.
Get a real Blade....!
