Just a reminder that many SOP’s require roof type to be identified.

Cool pic THANKS Dave!

Well, we can’t use that question for QOTW now.:shock: Eh, Marc? Thanks, Dave…:p:mrgreen:

[lkage (Larry Kage, CMI)]

Actually educational pics, Dave…thanks.

[sfetty (Dave Fetty, CMI)]

Hopefully it helps someone… at the last FABI conference there was a class about report writing to the SOP and I realized I didn’t have roof type in my template.

What is a clipped gable?

@mgoldenberg

What is a clipped gable?

Yes?..

Seriously, it is a gable that does not rise to a point but the upper roof sides slope back toward the gable wall.

An old carpenter that took my young arse under his wing, when I was starting out in building, called them a jerkhead roof, if I remember correctly. He said it was called that because people would jerk their head or do a double take on looking at the gable because it was so strange.
