The Roof Framer's Bible puts 68 different pitch combinations of "bastard" hip roofs at your fingertips.

Don't curse the architect – let this book make you an accomplished master of irregular pitched roof systems. You'll be the envy of your crew, and irregular roofs will be under your command. This rare pocket-sized book comes hardbound with a cloth marker.

Roof Framer's Bible's complete rafter tables with step-by-step instructions make it easy to frame any gable, hip, shed, gambrel, or gazebo roof - including the irregular or "bastard" hip roofs for which rafter tables have never before been available.

This quick reference guide gives every angle, length, pitch, and bevel to frame even the most complex roofs, WITHOUT lengthy mathematical calculations, or expensive calculators.
