Got to 64 here in the Shenandoah and I made the most of it. The danger is it makes you think of spring and we're not a full week into winter.

Not far from you Rustred. Winter can screw off anytime. Sick of it already. Plowed more snow in the last two weeks than all of last winter.

Nice photo!
I wish people would put their location in their profile tho.
Makes a photo like that a lot more meaningful if we know you're in Dallas, Spokane or Montreal.
Doesn't have to be your address. Just your state or province is enough.

Considering the Canadian flag in his profile photo I’m gonna rule out Dallas and Spokane. I guess a more precise location would be helpful for context though.

Joey, interesting rafters you have there. To me it looks like you need an additional support boards fastened to the post under your cross header. Particularly where the posts are short and the header is only contacting them half width limiting the amount of fasteners that could be used. I would recommend a 2x4 about 1 1/2 to two foot long screwed to the post with at least six or more 4” long utility screws. See pic.

Yea it a Hodge poge of free lumber im making work
The double 2x6 beam the rafters are setting on are lagged into the post

I got a couple of them to low when I set them .

Going to wall that side off an the plan is to tie that wall into the post an beam holding the rafters.
Been concentrating on the roof while the weather has been nice the past week or so
