Summary: Lost art
Comment: This book needs to be studied more than just read. Each chapter builds on the previous and will enable you to cut complicated roofs accurately. For the math challenged it is a good book because it walks you through the calculator steps. Forget the math illiterate oriented construction calculators costing way too much.. This book teaches you to use an ordinary scientific calculator with trig functions to cut roofs. If you make a living as a carpenter, then simple tips like methods for cutting sheathing in the appendix are worth the price of the book. If you want to break out and escape the McBox truss roof assembly line then this book will enable you.

Summary: Totally awesome. Roofing made simple
Comment: I built the 3' by 5' roof model according to the plans for my kids' playhouse.
My neighbor said, "Wow, you're talented!"
My friend said, "This is really a sturdy playhouse!"
My wife said, "It adds a realistic touch."
My kids just love it and they spend endless hours playing Yu-Gi-Oh card games in it.
Thanks Marshall Gross! You made it plain enough for even a beginner like me to build a roof.

Summary: BEST ROOF FRAMING TEACHER NO CONTEST FUN FUN FUN
Comment: ...I have always been fond of the REAL carpenters that could cut roofs that would make you want to cry. It is also my personal belief that the roof makes the house. What I mean is, if you stand back and look at any house with a piece of paper covering the roof all you see is just a big box with windows and doors ! But, add a really nice roof and plain Jane becomes a castle ! I taught myself and I have used this book to teach several kids and adults that I have met through Habitat for Humanity. The best part is the Mr. Gross, he tells you first thing he wanted to be a good teacher and he has gone far beyond that ! First he takes you right into a project and you can easily teach anyone how to cut roofs (and teach yourself)by going along. I love the way he has the knack of explaining complicated math. He has done more for my ability to understand complex math than any of the college professors I have taken math classes from...I wish that one day I could met Mr. Gross, such a craftsman and such a good teacher...Good luck and remember, Jesus was a carpenter !!!!!
