Well, any help I can get I will take Smiling
Yesterday and today I (We) got a lot done. I did have to keep checking squareness and level a lot as my back rafters that attach to the crown weren't lining up. The front was was off as well but just by an 1/8 of an inch. Again my perfectionist that I said I was going to throw out the window. But the back was off by 1 1/2 inches. As I attached the rear rafters (parts 8 & 9) to the vertical studs (parts 18 & 19), when they met at the peek where the crown attaches they were over lapping each other. I tried a whole bunch of things and no matter what I did it came out the same. So, I ended up adjusting the bolts that slid into parts 8 & 9 higher. Which also meant the the rafters weren't flush with diagonal edge of parts 8 & 9. But, that was the only way to make it work!
So, then my next problem was trying to attach part 79 to part 8 & 9 where they met at the peek for the crown. That's impossible to do. Again I tried messing with it again checking levelness and squareness but couldn't get it to line up and fit it there. See pics below.
Well, the framing is all done. Tomorrow I get to start painting the wood and install my new gutters (which I'll go into detail of how it works with the greenhouse)
This is where I'm at now. Excuse the ladders. I got tired of moving one all over the place so I just set a few of them up everywhere for easy convenience and laziness. Big Grin

Part 79 and the place it's supposed to go. See how there is no way it will fit on that lip.
