Hector, how do you add a steeple to a church roof?

[@JeremyNachreiner]

Very well done!!!

[@MichaelBrown-iw9ur]

You are a great teacher and I love the video. At about the 6:20 mark, you say there’s a lot of ways to figure out the pitch of a roof. I’m assuming you meant without climbing the roof…can you follow up on what you meant? Thanks for your teaching!

[@hectormendoza5861]

Most of the times you do not have to climb the roof see this video ua-cam.com/video/6oY9ZwVF7rU/v-deo.html

Hello! Can you make a video in Spanish? Please 🙏🏼

[@hectormendoza5861]

Thanks for that Question. I will get my wife to translate for me. I speak Spanish, but my wife speaks it better. Thank you for watching my videos. I hope that the translator works OK.
Gracias por esa pregunta. Haré que mi esposa me traduzca. Hablo español, pero mi esposa lo habla mejor. Gracias por ver mis videos. Espero que el traductor funcione bien.

How do you decide where the main roof is???

[@hectormendoza5861]

Normally it is the largest section of the roof.
