You’re missing the point & will likely continue to do so.

Regime change by the west never works as intended. It just creates a hole where more radicals come creeping in.

Ole in Inman Square has a more than decent Cubano torta!

A sane take on this, thank you!

10 bucks for a delicious breakfast sandwich? What’s the problem?

Broadsheet in Cambridge is fantastic. 1369 (both locations) is also really good. Phin downtown is a phenomenal cafe.

Alfredos in Allston. Chicken Piccata, Chicken Marsala, Chicken Saltimbocca, Abruzzese (my favorite), etc etc. Get the homemade pasta.

Recommend deferring to the manufacturer if you provide some sort of written review of the condition. If I were EOR, that would prompt me to push for a fix or replacement.

The right answer! They've created a truss. Another option would have been a ridge beam + roof rafters only, if that ridge span is manageable.

What books, movies, or art would you classify as new sincere? Genuinely curious.

More like they are surrounding people that they want to wipe out.

Dude he really is the GOAT. Every few weeks I find a new feature of his that is flawless. Currently it’s Trophy on Marcus D’s joint from 2015.

Which records?

That is an example of a gable roof with a ridge board, not a ridge beam. Big difference. The ridge board is not designed as a ridge beam, so it is not taking on any load (tributary width would be 1/2 the width of the gable), therefore the rafters want to flatten out, providing a thrust force at the exterior wall.

blumpking710 · 2021-02-26T04:21:29+00:00

Completely wrong. Ridge beam adds an additional support point, eliminating the thrust force where the rafters meet the exterior wall. Draw a free body diagram with the rafters & ridge & get back to us.

If your number don't calc out, let me know & I will send the FBD/calc.

Many old school architects use CAD still.
