Dear Friends,<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The volunteer carpenters at Ishwar\u2019s dera in Wisconsin have finished framing the roof for the carport that is attached to the ISHA Maintenance Building.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
This roof is noteworthy because of its design. It\u2019s a \u201chip roof,\u201d which is a type of roof where all the sides slope downward to the walls. <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Hip roofs are more difficult to construct than the more common gabled roof, requiring a more complex system of rafters. However, hip roofs are beautiful, and our carport is designed to be an integral design feature of the Maintenance Building. A hip roof also requires less diagonal bracing than a gable roof, and they are less likely to be caught by the wind because of their shape. Therefore, hip roofs are better suited for tornado-prone regions than gable roofs. <\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The first step was to pour the cement footings for the wooden posts that will support the carport roof.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Next, the wooden posts and plates were installed.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The roof rafters were cut to size, and screwed into place. Because of their shape, hip roofs require angle cuts on the ends of the rafters.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
Then, the 2×4 purlins are attached over the top of the roof. The metal roof will eventually be screwed directly onto the purlins.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\n
And the framing of our elegant hip roof is complete.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
\n
With warmest regards,<\/span>
