Re: Follow the cord
I am missing something. I follow the cord and find a power saw. What did I miss?

Re: Follow the cord
From the saw the cords goes up the roof, over the ridge and down the curved roof. There is no valley on the left side of the ridge. There was no vantage point to get a better picture but the cord should be in a straight line. They had to remove the roof framing down to the plate line and start over. In the end it turned out ok.

Re: Follow the cord
Where is it written that shingled roof sections have to approximate planar surfaces?--curves are soo much prettier.

Re: Follow the cord
Frank,
The contractor asked the same question with different words. I pointed out that the curves were not on the approved plans. It is difficult to see in the picture but both sides of the roof had curves and the ridge was way out of level.
The homeowner is a mousy little guy that was very intimidated by the big blustery contractor so I put on my tiger hat.
