Uh oh, a rafter dying in to another structure?! What could this be?!
What happens here
Begin by accurately measuring the required length and any specific angles for the wooden component using a tape measure and marking the cut line with a pencil or marker. Once marked, place the wood securely on a stable surface. Using a cordless circular saw, carefully cut along the marked line. Ensure the cut is clean and precise to allow for a snug fit in the framing structure. Always wear safety glasses and work gloves when operating power tools.
Goal: Prepare the wooden component to fit the framing precisely.
