Getting rafter it!! ..#framing #roof #deck #deckdesign #designandbuild
What happens here
The worker, positioned on scaffolding or a stable ladder, lifts a pre-cut wooden beam (likely a rafter or joist) over their head. The beam features a precise notch at one end. With careful alignment, the worker lowers the notched end of the beam onto the existing main support beam of the outdoor structure, ensuring the notch interlocks perfectly with the main beam's profile. The beam is then slid into its final position. The worker expresses satisfaction with the 'nice cuts,' implying that the precision of the pre-fabricated joinery is key to the smooth installation.
Goal: Securely fit a pre-notched rafter into the main support beam.
