From this we can get the overhang rafter length, noting

63.37"
– 26.69"
– 1.50"
= 35.18"
or in feet:
= 2' 11 3/16"
Lastly we need to find the pitched rafter length, the rafter above

STEP 2. RAFTER LAYOUTS:
The support rafter bottom cut
layout(atpointAonFigure21)willbemadesimilartoa
pitcheddooroverhang.Drapethesquare“T”overthetop(or
outside) edge of the support rafter and hold the square firmly
against the rafter. Then make a mark, using the angle scale,

From this mark, draw a line to the pivot point and you will then
have the bottom cut layout. The support rafter top cut layout
(atpointDinFigure21)issimilartothebird’smouthlayout.
First measure up the outside of the rafter the rafter length
from the bottom cut and then draw a plumb line using the sup-
port rafter inch rise. Now, instead of measuring down the seat
depth, measure down the overhang rafter width and make a
horizontal line going to the roof edge of the rafter.
The horizontal overhang rafter layout is identical to the layout
foraatroofextension(henceitsname).
