What happens here
After all the rafters are installed on both sides, take time to visually inspect the entire roof frame from various angles, including overhead (as shown in the drone footage). Check for consistent spacing between rafters, straight lines, levelness of the ridge beam, and secure fastening of all structural components. Ensure that the frame is square and plumb, and that there are no visible imperfections or loose connections. This final inspection confirms the structural integrity and readiness for the next stages of roofing, such as sheathing and covering.
Goal: Verify the structural integrity and completeness of the roof frame.
