Ever try figuring a rake wall and everyone wonοΏ½t leave you alone long enough to get it figured? Well at a glance you can have it figured . RAKEMASTER is a pocket size book. it has a list of roof pitches ranging from 1/2 and 12 to 12/12 I know 12 and 12 is the easiest to figure but its in there anyway. It also will figure pitches that run on, lets say a hip cut, or 1/2 and 17 thru to 12 and 17.You could buy a speed square and use the book that comes with it , how ever the book is to time consuming to get a height from, or a beam height , you have to lay it all out on the ground. What if your studying your plans and would like to write the height on them . when I snap out a slab it will indicate that the wall rakes and it will say at what height. the framer need but look and see what his long point will be. and should know what material he needs to start packing.
