Step 36: Roof Boards/Roof Finishers
and
Chimney and Dormers
1: Place the 1 x 5 x 52” Roof Boards on top of the Roof Supports, tting the tongue into
the groove of the Roof Starter. The holes in the Roof Boards should be centered over
the Roof Supports. There are seven Roof Boards on each side of the roof. If necessary
place a scrap 2 x 4 board against the Roof Board and hammer on it to seat the tongue
into groove for the Roof Boards. Fasten each Roof Board to the Roof Supports with four
1-1/2” wood screws.
2: Place the 1 x 5 x 52” Roof Finisher at the end of the roof assembly and fasten to
the Roof Supports with four 1-1/2” wood screws. Each side of the roof gets one Roof
Finisher.
Tip: Use the instructions provided with the Chimney and Dormers to build them. After
putting in three Roof Boards on the right roof STOP and then install the Chimney.
Notice the mounting block for the Chimney will get installed on the rst Roof Board.
Once all the Roof Boards/Finishers are installed mount the Dormers as shown below
centered on the roof.
