Do you lift the trusses one by one or sort them all on the roof? I’ve seen the videos where carpenters lay all the trusses out on the top plate and just walk over them it looks like a mess surely there is an easier way?

[@Buildsum]

Hi
You can do it either way, yeah laying them out on the roof does look like a mess but it is pretty quick as long as the factory has packed them in some sort of logical order. It is recommended that you lift and install them one at a time however this generally take longer. Hope this helps.

[@wheres_bears1378]

@@Buildsum thanks heaps, yeah the video I saw the trusses weren’t packed in order and they had to move them all on the top plates, looked like hell haha

What computer programme was used to build this broken hip and valley roof?

[@Buildsum]

Hi Mate, I use SketchUp for all my drawings

@@Buildsum Perfect thanks mate!

[@davem1658]

I just realised what you meant about 'rat runners'... that timber makes easy for the rats to run from one end of the attic to the other! ... have i got that right?

[@Buildsum]

Hi Dave, yeah that is correct.

[@davem1658]

@@Buildsum I'm doing RPL in carpentry in queensland. and this free learning resource has high value and good quality... Its great for people like me who want to be even more familiar with methods rather than just the RPL modules. thanks mate

[@Buildsum]

Thanks, Dave, it's great to hear that you are finding the videos helpful.

[@Buildsum]

Hi Dave, yeah I imagine that there are quite a few RTO's using my videos in this way however even if they have linked or embedded the video in there moodle it will sill count to my views and if my branding is still on it then all good. Thanks for letting me know anyway.

[@davem1658]

@@Buildsum well i deleted my comment because I didn't want to cause a sort of legal fight. Anyway it means you have good quality vids. cheers mate. bye
