Have you used valley trusses before? I have and they are not fun! I would rather build a roof as shown in this video.

Dude- I stumbled upon this video just this morning and I gotta tell y’all, for years I’ve fought valley rafters cuts where it’s taken me all day for a simple 8 rafter overbuild. Today it took me less than 4 hours. Holy crap! Thank you for posting this informational video. You explained it all so well!

Hi, I just wanted to take a moment a thank you for this video. My Pastor and I adding a new addition to our Church and the addition is going to have two valleys in which neither of us have built before. This video and a few others really helped. Thank You.

I'm no carpenter and building a roof has always been a challenge for me, but your explanation, has helped take some of my doubt away. There's a lot of information covered in this video, thanks for taking the time to show us how it's done.

Thanks for this. As an apprentice carpenter, when cutting these rafters, I've been given all the measurements and angles by the journeymen, but no one explained where they get those angles from. You do a great job explaining why to use the angles and set back measurements.

I really appreciate the video. It made it much easier to frame in a California this afternoon; I’m a bit rusty and missed a couple cuts, you saved the day

Just attached my new addition to the existing house. Never could have done it without viewing this video. Thanks so much!!!

Finally someone has explained how to layout the frame work. I’ve watched a ton of videos and none have showed the hole process as you did. It’s my first time doing this. I plan on going over the shingles on the old roof. I trust this is acceptable. I’ve seen videos of it being done.

I used to build houses (20 years ago) AND this brings back memories! I can confirm this is exactly how it should be done. Thank you for the informative and accurate video!

Great video. Don't give away all the secrets. I've been framing for twenty years and this is where the basics start. Nice work. You've inspired me to vlog my next project. 24x28 garage build.

[pueblitaag]

I watched the whole video, and thanks for your patience, it 's good to learn in many ways

[foxman]

This video encourages me to make a small roof with a valley on my future home. Thank you so much!

Not a lot of people take their time to show details like this because they and also me want to get it done and no time to mess around with cameras and editing and stuff. I’m always curious about building roofs and tying in old roofs because I want to build an additional one of these days. I did roofing for my entire house before by myself so i think I can tackle this myself. Thank you for sharing the infos. I’m subscribe and saved this video
