Looks a little like this here today. Unequal pitched roof framing. View attachment 421974
OK My Friend, What is the easiest way to explain to this wrencher how to properly cut the birds mouth? And does the birdsmouth change with pitch variances? See, your gonna wish you never posted this LOL.

I could post some pictures of how the lay out the tail, and birds mouth if you need that Tim. It depends on the material used for the wall, and the sub-facial as to how exactly you do it. What pitch are you working on?

Either a 4/12 or a 6/12. Nothing too steep. They will be sitting on dual 2x10's on either side of a 4"x6" pole. Basic pole building.

If you're doing this on a day when I don't have anything else to do I could come out and make sure that I could explain it in person

I was gonna mention that with a 2x10 inside and one outside, it would be tough to sit a rafter on both. I would notch in one of the 2x10s to the post, then nail the other directly to that one. Top those with a 2x4 for a plate, then you could use a "normal" birds mouth.

What size rafter? Tail or not?
Probably 8" unless too costly. Then 6"
Tail? Overhang, yes sir.

Yes sir it would only be on the outside board.

Sooo, yeah. About that...
The PO of our place decided to build the back porch himself apparently.🤣
Not only did he fuch all of that up, but the roof ridge gets lower as it extends out to the end. Decreasing pitch anyone?
Ploblem is, hes not the biggest idiot. I am for buying it.😂
At least it doesnt leak....

I was 8, so I don’t remember much of it. But growing up around Winona, we would always drive down to the levee to see the high water.
In 1993 I was working for the US Army Corps of Engineers at our local Lock and Dam. I got plenty of up close and personal time with the flood waters. I saw more chit and snakes in the water than anyone should ever see.

@Mastermind,@John Wargo , Hey guys so this is what I want to replicate. Short story of the long. I was a board carrier and tape guy over 23 yrs ago for my cousin when we built this. It has never moved and the ridge has never sagged. He has passed so I can't reach out to him. I made him put that vertical to the peak. He laughed and said wasn't needed. I remember taking a length measurement. Then the notch was all done with a framing square. Any pointers would be appreciated.20240605_185807.jpg20240605_185829.jpg20240605_185900.jpg20240605_185915.jpg20240605_185927.jpg

My cousin is head diver for the Corps. He’s normally at Lock 5 unless on assignment. I have another friend who’s at 5A. Good jobs those guys have - except for the swing shift part.
