Thanks, Clark, for taking the time to post!

I wish I could take credit for the capital, knee brace, ridge connection detail, but my brother in arms Brad came up with that one out of the blue. I think it looks beautiful with the scarf sitting on top of it, and talk about a bomber connection. And you haven't seen it yet, but the eave wall also has a matching scarf joint (though smaller) and the relationship between the ridge scarf and the wall scarf makes for another layer of interest, I think

The only reason we even had the capital is because a couple of our posts were too short and so we needed to "stretch" them. We actually had parallel chord trusses in the original design, but, for a variety of reasons, we decided to forgo the bottom chord and go with knee braces.

Cheers, Chuck
