Not to mention how difficult double notched rafters are to match up to the changing angles. If you look at this head on photo, you can see how the angles change on the rafters. I'm not sure how the corrugated metal will be able to stay straight and look good as there is a "bend" effect to the variable angled rafters. Also, will the ridges and valleys match up correctly with the lower section of the roof? Anyone with thoughts on this...wondering if I should redo the ridge now or keep plugging along with my fingers crossed?
