A

shed dormer, gabled dormer, hipped dormer, eyebrow dormer

18
Q

how is the slope of an octagon roof specified?

A

by the slope of the common rafter

19
Q

what is a way to reduce congestion at the peak of an octagon roof?

A

by a blocking technique that will end the common rafters before they get to the peak

20
Q

what is the distance of the blocking from the centre of the peak?

A

equal to the spacing of the common rafters resulting in the roof sheathing not getting over-spanned at the peak

21
Q

what is the equation to find length of block at the peak?

A

spacing X Tan22.5 = opposite X 2 = length of block

22
Q

what is the saw set to when cutting the blocks plumb?

23
Q

what rafter is at a flatter slope?

A

The hip rafter

24
Q

what is the unit of run for a hip compared to 12” unit of run for a common?

25
what numbers on a framing square would you use for plumb cuts on a hip?
the unit rise and 13"
26
the slope of the side rafters on a gambrel roof is opposite to what?
the slope of the top raters ie: 5/12 - 12/5
27
what must be doubled at the opening of a dormer?
the major commons and the headers at top and bottom of the opening
28
what is the plum line adjustment at the tail end for 1 1/2 stock?

29
what angle would you set the circular saw too to cut that tail end?
22.5 degrees
30
what is another way of reducing congestion at the peak?
and octagonal post with each side cut plum to thickness of hip
31
what is the calculation from working point to shortening on a hip jack?
.75 / sin22.5 = 1.96" + 1 15/16"
32
how to find dimension for the hip jack side cut
.75 / tan22.5 = 1.811" = 1 13/16"
