RIDGE BOARD 2" X 8" IS SLOTTED IN. THIS IS JUST A CONSTRUCTION AID... IT ADDS A LITTLE STRENGTH BUT IT MAKES IT EASIER TO PUT THE RAFTERS UP. WHAT WILL MAKE THE ROOF STRONG IS THE SOLID SHEETING. (3/4" BOARDS, NAILED ON THE TOP OF THE RAFTERS AND ALSO ON THE BOTTOM OF THE RAFTERS. THIS SPREADS THE LOAD.
If there is no presence on our land there are some people who think it is up for grabs (like our Northwest Passage). We trap in a remote area of Northern B.C., CANADA, 100 km from the nearest road. We fly in by Beaver Bush Plane and stay here for long periods of time. We are caretakers of the land and this is how we live.
