as a group (me, tyrone, sylvester and william) we measured the base for our roof making exercise and with those measurements worked out the hip, common and jack rafter lengths, major and minor ridges an hip, broken hip lengths and with these calculations proceded to make a hip roof design in scale comparison to our model house roof as showen above.the calculations are important as any mistakes can translate to the work of cutting and measuring rafters etc and make all points uneven and make in a poor roof. this happend to us as one incorrect measurement of thw double top plate resulted in incorrect calculations and incorrect structure. but we have quicly fixed the problem and have constructed a correct roof. what i have learnt is to always double check everything and to always remember all tools and equipment
