Roof Return Framing
The framing of a basic gable roof is based on a right angle triangle and the various roof framing components fit the triangle.
Roof return framing. Notches under the rafters allow the ledger stock to be full dimension on the ends to better support the return framing. The run or half the building span is the base of the triangle. Run both boards long and cut in place. This structure supports all roof sheathing materials such as plywood sheathing underlayment and of course shingles.
Finish the eaves framing after ripping the top of the subfascia with a circular saw set to 26 5 degrees i flushed the top ripped edge with the top of the plumb cut on the rafters and screwed the subfascia to the rafter tails. Rafters start at the top of the roof and go down to the eaves but not exceeding the exterior walls of the house. And the line length measurement from the roof peak to the building wall is the hypotenuse.
