32 inches

Width = 10' 4" = 124"

Length of run = 124/2 = 64" = 5.33'

Lenght of run 5.33' X 6" rise = 32" (31.99)

HK dropped 4''.

For a gable end roof( rafters pitching both ways) height would be 32 1/4''.

For a shed roof (rafters running total span) height would be 64 1/2''.

32" is right, right?
Even though 124" should be 128", he got the half right.

I was wrong but I was right. Two wrongs made a right.


Should have read.

32 inches

Width = 10' 8" = 128"

Length of run = 128/2 = 64" = 5.33'

Lenght of run 5.33' X 6" rise = 32" (31.99)

O what the heck, just guess at it.
