Roof Framing 101 Scotch Valleys & Snub Hips

What is a "Scotch Valley"?  Its what the Aussie's call a layover valley, over frame valley and California valley. Doesn't that sound cool?

Our engineer prefers we use layover valleys instead of true framed valleys.  The reason is that landing a roof onto a fully sheathed roof is stronger in an earthquake.  It is also a great way to frame a split pitch or irregular roof.  

This is an odd roof design in that we have to land the broken hips onto the sleeper valley boards.  In this video, we'll set the ridge, install the commons, plane the valleys in and frame them, and then set the broken hips.

Oh if you use a drone for commercial work, you need to be part107 certified.  Commercial work includes social media like YouTube if you plan to make an income off of that.  I watched a video about this last May and then purchased the Part 107 Course https://sso.teachable.com/secure/2458... I studied and learned for 1 month and then took my test.  I scored a 95%, which is a testament to how good Greg and the crew over there teach.  That link will save you $100 off the course and support this channel.
