The projecting portions or wings are, however, not yet 133 122 CARPENTRY covered and in order to take care of them some further planning isnecessary. Let us consider the two wings on the front of the build-ing, marked A A,in Fig. 175. We will decide to cover these with a simple gable roof and for 1 ^ this the first step is to draw in the ridges. These ridges will, of course, come exactly in the center of the wings and will be shown on the plan by a line in the center of the plan of the wings, perpendicular to the line of the front. These lines should be drawn in as shown in Fig. 177, where they are marked E E. The lines E E intersect the hip lines marked G G, in Fig. 176, at a point about half way between the corners D and C, and the peaks R R. In Fig. 175. Ground Plan of Building on WhichRafter Must Be Placed. Fig. 176. Plan of Roof Covering Main Portions of the Building order to look well the slope or pitch of the sides of the pitch roofwhich covers the wings A A, must be the same as the slope or pitchof the end of the hip roof shown in Fig. 176 and there marked S S, 134 CARPENTRY 123 and thus the roof of the wing A will on that side become a part ofthe roof over the main portion of the building, and the lower portionof the hip hne G may be erased, leaving only the upper portionshowing as a hip, as indicated in Fig. 177. The other side of thepitch roof over the wing A will, however, not correspond with anyslope in the roof over the main portion of the building and mustintersect it in some line. Since the ridge E is at the top of this roofsurface and the wall line of the wing A is at the bottom of the roofsurface, a line drawn from the corner in which the wall line of thewing intersects the wall line of the m
