The weather was not cooperative today, but Jeff and Steve ran a string line across from a known rafter position on the west wall... |

...to the corresponding rafter position on the east wall. This reference line will tell us how much we need to shift the ridge pole north or south. |
Next, Jeff dropped a plumb bob from the same corresponding rafter location on the ridge pole (the darker pink string). |

The perspective from the floor is bad in this photo, but it's evident that the vertical plumb bob string (right) is about 3 inches south (right) of the horizontal cap log string line. We'll have to swing the ridge pole north about 3 inches. |
