Gable Dormer

 Gable dormers are can be tricky but using a speed square makes it much easier. However, this dormer was proud so the additional angle added to the head scratch time.

I also added a 4x12 beam by myself to keep it interesting. I ended up using straps to hoist and built brackets to hold as I slowly hoisted. You can be rest assured my heart rate was greater than usual
