sorry I have overlooked your comment for so ...Tom,<br /><br />sorry I have overlooked your comment for so long - my bad. The client was richly rewarded in a way when he left with the drawings to find someone else to build. I had charged but a small retainer for the drawing work in the understanding that I would do the building as well, and yes, I guess I got to learn a good lesson there.<br /><br />As for your question, the upper hips rest on purlins and upon the last foot or so of the lower hip itself. The purlins rest upon the lower hip, so the load from the upper hip to the lower is transferred through those intermediates and by direct contact. Most of the roof load is carried by the cantilever beams.<br /><br />~CAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14328401081765407624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261993076995357307.post-72137132102634288052010-09-13T22:13:48.985-04:002010-09-13T22:13:48.985-04:00Chris

I just hope the time spent will be richly rewarded in time saved later in the construction.<br /><br />On a more mundane note, how do the irregular hips transfer the weight of the upper roof to the regular hips?<br /><br />Keep on keeping on.<br /><br />Tomtomausmichigannoreply@blogger.com
