We really want to welcome you -- and hope you find the answers you need

Many times someone is looking for a question on -- computers -- PC

A lot of the questions have already been answered -- waiting in the AMHD data base

When searching for answers -- boil it down one or two search words

By typing one simple word in the search box -- spyware -- you get answers fast

You don't have to put on wadders, to get through the muck, to find the correct answer

No long drawn out question that are not interperated the same as you wrote

Searching finds that vein of gold --and it really cuts down on your wait time

Similar Questions -- at the bottom of the page is really worth looking into :)

Please post in a separate question ----->how long will the rafters be on a 51 ft bldg. with a 6/12 pitch?

Greetings and WELCOME to the site, Dan! Since the Introductions topic area is for introductions only and not for asking questions, I have moved your thread to a topic area where it will get more exposure to those who are best able to answer your question.

Total width of building = 51'
Length of ceiling joist (run of the rafter) 51/2 = 25' 6"
Height of ridge with 6/12 pitch (rise of rafter) = 12" 9"
Square root of A squared plus B squared = C squared
Length of rafter =28' 6"

Don't forget to add for the overhang. Which of course is not given.
