Al Carrell : What's going on behind us here is cutting in of the roof.
Michael Holigan : The reason they call it cutting in, is because you cut each piece of the roof for exactly the distance that it's going to cover. It's not pre-made at a truss factory. The reason they're doing that on this home is because we have some vaulted ceilings over here. It looks to be about a six-twelve pitch, plus we have some gables. Now that would have been very hard to manufacture with trusses, so they go ahead and just build the roof on site.
A.C.: Besides looking different, there is another difference that you might want to consider and that is that the steeper the roof, the more it's going to cost. The reason being there's more materials involved, but this is also going to give you a longer lasting roof because you're not going to have the problems of mother nature being able to attack the roof quite so easily. So, you're going to maybe make up the difference in what it cost.
