  1. Hello Doug, I am in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia No problem with uplift or inspectors here (so far). Never know when that might change. In the case of a Prow Gable (which is only occasionally for the guys I work with) we build the gable low and run the look outs back to the next truss. Ken We just call it a Chicken Ladder
  2. I know things are done differently in other parts of the country but this is the way we do our lookouts. 2x6 fly rafter with 2x6 lookout nailed to the end truss. Sheathing applied and then set on wall. Hope all have a Happy New Year, Ken

  18. Greg , Just tried to use as molding poly line, no dice there either. Ken
  19. Greg, I can verify that the moldings do not show up in the dbx when you try to select them to apply to a cab. If you just open the library they are there but they do not show in the cab. dbx Have a great week,Ken
  20. Chris, There are downspouts in Chiefs libraries. Have a great week,Ken
  21. Christopher, If you go back and change the roof plans to 3 1/2 " or 5 1/2" according to what top cord on the truss will be. It will auto correct to show heigth of roof. If you need the truss plans have the truss man do them and have him give you a copy to present with your plan to plan checker. Should work. Have a great week,Ken
