Last time I showed how to find a roof pitch with a framing square, and you all said just use a rafter square. Fair enough. Let's use a rafter square. Hook it on your roof like that. Bring this up until the bubble reads level. Read your common scale. Identify that's a four. This is a 4/12 pitch. Anyways, I got stuff to do. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
