Question:

Hello,how do I find the line length of a rafter if I cant use my framing square,just pitch and rafter run measurements?

Answer:

I'd do the measurement on the outside of the roof - on the fascia. That will be as good a scale as you'd need.

In the interests of retaining credibility and in fairness to all, I cannot recommend prices, people nor companies for various projects.

Remember, even if you don’t do your own work around the house have to hire someone, you put yourself at a great advantage when you can intelligently discuss a project with the various trades people.
