Cutting Common Rafters, Cut and Stack Roof, Tail, Seat, Birds Mouth Cut #construction #framing

A good inspector would flunk this non-standard configuration. By putting the heel cut to the inside, bearing is now on the toe of the rafter, with the heel unsupported. This reduces gravity load value by one nominal size ie a 2x12 is now only as strong as a 2x10.

It really does matter, especially in snow country.

Quality cuts 🙌

Good stuff!

Me no likey.

you have turned your 2x8 in to a 2x6 by not having your notch that goes down past the top plate

Well done, freehand style. 🤘😛🤘
