Hip Roof Structure showing TrussAnother shot of the hip roof structure from outside. There are 1 x 1" pieces of metal at 31 cm. apart on the top to carry the tiles. The M truss is visible on the inside. The truss will not be supported within the structure.dozerSep 27, 2011

Primed and Painted Roof MetalEach piece of roof metal is painted first with a primer coat and then sealed for maximum rust protection. This is a precaution which should be taken since the integrity of the metal is important in regards to the strength of the roof structure.dozerSep 27, 2011

Example Roof TrussA roof truss from a different project. We will be using a modification of this with a 'm' truss design. The shot is notable, because normally a 'truss' system is not used here. With foundation columns and internal walls, the roof structure is normally dependent on being able to be supported within the house boundaries, ie not a truss.

Cinderblocks used as Supports for Ground BeamSmall cinder blocks are used as permanent supports (on the inside) for the ground beam. These will remain as a part of the foundation after the ground beam is poured.
