We have a wall, and its
long , the
angle is
degrees, so
|
|
We have a wall. Its
high and
long so
|
|
This wall is
high and
long so
|
|
Ok, its
long and the angle is
degrees so

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
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)
 Print Running centers

We need to go up a rake and mark a
point thats directly plumb above a
point below. We cant plumb up because theres stuff in the way. The point
below is
level in from the end, and the angle is
degrees. so
to the point directly plumb above the one below

We need to cut this block at an angle
. The blocks
wide or long and the angle is
degrees so
in mills from one side to the other to make this angle
|
We need to lay these blocks up on an angle,
and the ends have to be cut plumb
. The angle is
degrees and
the blocks are
high, so
that I need to cut the bottom shorter than the top, so as when I lay the end block
on the angle, the cut end is plumb

We have a gable with bond
beams on top, and the angle is
degrees. The blocks are
high, the joints are 3/8" and theres
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 5' long and rises 1', its a pitch of 1 in 5
We got a pitch (rise) of
in length of
so 1 in 1 = 45 deg
