ROLLING OFFSETS
Rolling offsets can be figured with a complex method or with a simplified method. since i assume that you are interested in the most accurate information that you can get in the shortest amount of time, i will give you the simplified version. The results will be the same as the more complicated method, but you will not pull out as much hair or lose as much time as you would with the other exercise, and you will arrive at the same solution.

To figure rolling offsets simply, you will need a framing square, just a typical, steel, framing square. The corner of any flat surface is also needed, so that you can form a right angle...

It is illegal to inhabit a tiny home in most populated areas of the U. S. The housing industry and the banks sustaining it spent much of the 1970s and 1980s pushing for larger houses to produce more profit per structure, and housing authorities all cross the country adopted this bias in the form of minimum-size standards. The stated purpose of these codes is to preserve the high quality of living enjoyed in our urban and suburban areas by defining how small a house can be. They govern the size of every habitable room and details therein. By aiming to eliminate all but the most extravagant housing, size standards have effectively eliminated housing for everyone but the most affluent Americans.
DRIVING A COUPLE of nails through the side of one 2x into the edge or face of another creates a strong connection. This is a good way to join two 2xs at a right angle. But sometimes this isn’t possible, either because the board is too thick or because its face is not exposed. That’s when you resort to driving a nail at an angle, or toenailing.
