monday we were introduced to irregular roofs and oblique roofs. paul gave us some book work to look through and start filling in then we started on our brown paper drawings. we started drawing bevels and true lengths. it was complicated to look at and at the start i had no idea what the hell we were doing. but then wehen i started following the instructions i realised what was going on, it was a way to work out the true lengths of rafters, creepers and hips. we also worked out the rise and the bevel angles to use.

we continued finishing the drawing today (tues) up until lunch time, we then transfered out angles onto a bevel board. after this we went in and did some activities on working out hip lengths, jack lengths, nderpurlin lengths on a few plans using pythagoras and other methods.
