structures research

when researching the calculations for the hip roof as showen in the earlyer post i learnt that actualy seeing the construct as u calculate is easyer for me as i learn more visualy than just having numbers and calculation sheets. by seeing where all the peices go as i calculate them i was able to make sure they will work and how all the peices fit together. in researching all the diffrent fixings and types of roofs i learnts the uses of each as well as the importance of safty on the worksite esp at heights. what i have learnt form this will help greatly towards my assignmet as well as down the line in carpentry.
