Orbs

[phat pharmer]

What you see next to the red arrows are things called orbs. In the paranormal community this means you have ghost activity.

Freaky, would you grow here........

[Peace seeker]

there is something freaky about it...

even if it doesnt have para-activity, you shouldnt grow on an attic.

choppers might have heat sensors

Or maybe clean the lense?

paranormal?
If they were something to worry about, you would have already moved.
Besides, maybe they are showing themselves cause you ain't going up there and blowing them some of your bountiful harvest?

Just a thought

No wonder those houses last so long... timber for trusses.
Real dimensional lumber..... never happens these days.

Get better R value if you would change that insulation to the blow in type... don't blow it in just buy the bags.

Insulate the space in between the trusses up top..make sure you place a vapour barrier in tween insulation and warm air.

Venting in da roof! NUMMA 1!!!!

No eaves?
Ever heard of a thing called a whirly-bird?
They have vanes on a ball on top of a stem, turns in the wind and removes air from the attic.

Chippy anything like a harpie?

You want a sloped roof for the run off I assume?
Easy way?
you have a square or rectangle right? Nothin fancy?

Here is a pic I just did.
Just make the one cut on either end of the board at the same angle.. make em all the same length.

Use pieces of plywood or 19mm lumber (GOOD stock) to make cleats to connect the two at the peak.
Make em big and cut the peak angle after you nail the fuck outta it...both sides have to be done.

For the bottom? remember the corners of the slab where the boards were layed out?
The bottom of the board should be right on the corner if you are using the slab dimensions as the building dimensions. (no lip around da building)

Make marks, nail a length of material exactly above that mark connecting the two opposing boards and when you set them up, your upper dimensions will match your base with minimal straightening.
Run them long and cut them back to match the truss angle.

Depending on what you have, higher is better to a point...runoff?

depending on size depends on material used.
2" x 4" is really 38 x 89
2" x 6" is really 38 x 140

10' x 10' and smaller?... for the top angled boards (chords) should be 2" x 4" on edge,
larger spans = larger top boards... for anything up to 32' I would use 2" x 6" lumber (on edge)

The bottom chord can easily be 2" x 4" for any application called shed.

Nails?

89 mm for all lumber to lumber connections. 3 nails per (one side of over-lapped boards is fine).

2 1/2" for plywood to lumber

if I confuse you, just say so. I'll clear up the bits.

most likely its just dust, especially if you used a digital camera (and especially since your in the attic). real orbs would probably leave a trail. but you never know they could be real.

[thcbuz]

so you've got paranormal activity? who's to sat what the source or entities/spirits are from or what/why they're so numerous. most likely dust in an attic. alway's consider known contact with unknown sources to be a positive thing. you reap what you sew and if you get the 'noids, it will spread. trust me , I'm a witch.
if we fear what we don't understand, we become our government I wouldrather live in a house with previous spirits still there. it signifies comfort and solace; not a trapped soul like movie writers would lead us to believe.
