Clare_White Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Hello, I have this Garage remodel project that the garage roof I can't figure it out. The garage roof is a hip that joins in with the house roof, I got all that. I need help with this small triangle that joins the front and back together. I have attached the google map images of front and back and the drawing file. I am almost at the point of just sending these problems out and paying someone for it. 3943 SE Cooper St - Google Maps back of house.pdf 4008 SE Cooper St - front of garage.pdf Steve & Tereas Oslund Exist roof 1a.plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evolution Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Clare this is what I think you need. Especially since you have a hip dyeing into a gable end (a flashing nightmare without the cricket). The forum won't let me post your plan back, but I will give it another try after I post this.

Evolution Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Since the Chief Talk forum has changed I can't post Plan files although I can post PDF clips ok. I couldn't get the plan file to even attempt to attach. I'll keep trying. What I did was delete the small piece of roof Rick added, then did roof break in the hip and drug that edge around to the ridge and it worked.

Steve & Tereas Oslund Exist roof 2- roof edit.plan Yeah, I didn't look at the second PDF. Regardless, the more I look at the Google picture, the more I'm convinced that the rear intersection is the real issue, and needs to look more like this: Obviously I don't have it perfect - but I think there is a lot of tweaking that needs to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clare_White Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Thanks Bob and Robert, This Roof stuff is tricky. Some roof look really simple when you first look at them and then you draw them in and find all the problems. What is the saying "practice makes perfect." Robert you have it correct on the last one. I did start out with trying to draw it like that but then it wasn't working out and I got lost along the way. Google maps are great when you can look at roofs all around, however I feel like a spy. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rlackore Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 ShaneK, you probably have it - I just can't see that high-to-low pitch intersection in the Google picture. A few more site photographs would help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
