5.0 out of 5 stars A small book with all you need to know, February 9, 2000
By Gerald Polmateer (Wellton, AZ) - See all my reviews
The was the first book that I bought on the subject of cutting a roof. The examples on laying out a roof are excellent. The nice thing about this book is that you can put it in your shirt pocket. I learned to cut a roof from the examples given in this book. I have used this book for about 25 years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Full Length Roof Framer, February 5, 2000
By Billy Lindsey (Beaumont, Texas, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
A must for every framer. It gives all your lengths on every 1/2 pitch calculated from the span instead of the run,so there's hardly any math involved. it also gives the application of all your basic rafter layouts. Don't cut a roof without it.

Make sure to check and know that this book comes in metric units. If you are one of those who use and prefer inches, yard, feet, join the minority and stay in your own box.

I have probably ruined five of these books, due to rain, losing them, etc. I just keep on buying them. After you measure spans you do not have to go back up on the roof. Read more
