So,you got the 9.125 " by manually laying out a 6 in 12 pitch on the rafter, and subtracting 1.5 inches for the vertical cut (part of birdsmouth) at the top of the wall?

hy. Tks for your videos, they are very well produced. In this video, you made a mistake at the minut 3:30 by writing : substract the HAP when you actually ADD it on the following line 9.125 + 59.625. The corret way is to add, not substract. only my 2 cents...
