Do you guys out there compensate (or add) the thickness of the wall sheathing when calculating your run to find common rafter lengths.
it's not much of a difference, but could be enough that your rafter runs a little short.
thanks

U can cut a little notch in ur seat-cut when u are cutting them to count for the sheathing thickness.

I allow for it.

On rafters I account for it - on some trusses I don't. If the truss has a heel height high enough to kick the overhang off the top plate I'll not take it into account so I can run plywood all the way up.
