Well, from the Copywrite of 1917-1944, the price went up to $1.25.

Wonder how much they cost today.

In my last years in framing, I was using the Construction Master which was quicker.

Nothing, they put it online or in a YouTube video and bombard you with non-stop ads in order to read it…

isn’t the slop and pitch of the roof a b igg factor when it come to designing the houses? I was speaking with a designer and he told me that is I the first thing they come up with. Everything follow there after. So they use 4-12,3=9, 2-8. its all about how much material is going to be used

I always called it roof pitch, I did roofing from 1993 to 2013.

a roof slopes at 45 degrees is a 12/12 pitch. or just a 12 pitch. as the second 12 is just a given.

always called it pitch. like the “the roof is a 5 pitch”

I have never said " that roof is a 5 slope" as the slope refers to the angle of the roof. “it slops down on one side more then the other” or something like that.

If I said to any roofer " thats a 12 slope roof, its too steep to get up there" I would be called a moron for sure. if I put that in my report and any one see’s it they would think I’m stupid.

When I was in school for Architecture CADD we used pitch on the drawings to represent the steepness of the roof.

I think slope and pitch can be interchanged with each other. Much like sediment trap and drip leg.:rofl:

Drip kid and drip kid daddy where are you?
