I am building a salt box style house with a heavy timber roof. I have a small gable (16' wide) intersecting the main roof perpendicular to the ridge and matching the main roofs ridge height. In most exposed beam roof systems I have seen the rafters sit atop the ridge beam when the ceiling is vaulted. Will my valley rafters also work in this fashion or will they be in the same plane as the jack rafters? Does anyone have a photo or detail of this situation. Thanks for any help. mrcstowe@bellsouth.net
