What happens here

This project demonstrates a simple and safe method to determine the pitch of a roof from the eaves using a framing square and a level, avoiding the need to access the attic or the roof itself. By aligning the framing square with the eave and leveling it, the 'rise' measurement can be easily read, providing the roof's pitch.

Everyone in the comments told me not to go into the attic for this. So, here's how you find the pitch of your roof from the eaves using a framing square and a level. Go ahead and put your 12 on the edge of your eave there. Go to where the level is level. Which is right about right there. And right there is your four. So, we have a four 12 pitch. Follow for more.
