Here's what I'm up to now. I still have two more post to complete and the top plate that I'm working on here is one of six. After that I have twenty eight rafters to cut. The rafters are pretty easy and straight forward. These rafter seats are one of my least favorite to do. I just cut one incorrectly, had something else on my mind and didn't measure enough. The joint will still work but the bearing area for the rafter tail was reduced quite a bit. I'll try to explain on another video.
I read the books, now it's time to throw caution to the wind. "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover". - Mark Twain ......"Sometimes a journey of a thousands miles ends very very badly"-Unknown
