We need to go up a rake and mark cleats at centers that are plumb above
the ones below, that are level, but because we're on the rake, the centers need
to be further apart to be plumb. The points below are at
mill centers on the level and
the angle is
degrees. so
so
as they're plumb above the ones below
Print me out the running measurements
up the rake starting at
mill(level)

bond beam courses. So
down from the topdo we need to go to start
the stretcher cuts, so as when we lay the bond beams on top, they end up at the
right height
|
We know the pitch, so how do we work out the angle. Pitch is Rise in Length. If
its 5m long and rises 1m, its a pitch of 1 in 5
We got a pitch (rise) of
in length of
so 1 in 1 = 45 deg
