    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.
