Karl Country: | Posts: 6945 Michael Hohn Fireman Posted - 03/31/2020 :  10:05:48 AM       Kevin, I think your new gables will have better proportions; less pointy than the old ones. That book should be a goody. The senior author has published many articles over the decades. His structure articles several decades ago in RMC were some of the best at the time. I imagine they still hold up. Mike Country: USA | Posts: 7006 Frank Palmer Fireman Posted - 03/31/2020 :  10:18:00 AM       Kevin, are you left-handed by any chance? A friend of mine is left-handed and whenever he takes a picture with his iPhone he presses the button with the left and the pictures come out upside down. Just wondering.

Country: USA | Posts: 197 Ensign Fireman Posted - 04/02/2020 :  11:44:52 AM     Kevin, it looks like your back to peak performance now! Looking good my friend.

Country: USA | Posts: 4083 kebmo1 Engine Wiper Posted - 04/02/2020 :  4:31:51 PM     trial and error is a good tool, but it's time consuming as hell. diplomacy is the art of saying 'nice doggie', until you can find a rock. Country: USA | Posts: 197 kebmo1 Engine Wiper Posted - 04/02/2020 :  10:32:19 PM     i've decided that this is the final configuration. the roof substructure is just sitting there because i still have quite a few steps to go before it's time to secure it. first thing i gotta do is change out the fourth balcony post for a longer one. at least now i can start figuring out the rest of the roofs. and here's a shot with an 18" straight edge from the veranda gable peak to the ridge on the north south roof. that's an acceptable tolerance i think. i'm going with it. thoughts, comments? diplomacy is the art of saying 'nice doggie', until you can find a rock. Country: USA | Posts: 197 railman28 Fireman Posted - 04/02/2020 :  11:25:24 PM     It's looking good. Is the lighting giving more Blue than you see with your eye? The light from my magnifier does that too. Press on, please, finsih this baby. Bob It's only make-believe Country: USA | Posts: 5695 kebmo1 Engine Wiper Posted - 04/02/2020 :  11:29:07 PM     thanks bob. yeah, the lighting where the mdel is sitting right now (cuz it won't fit on the workbench) is horrible. diplomacy is the art of saying 'nice doggie', until you can find a rock.
