   Deconstruction, with a couple of rocks in the way. One was removed, one was framed around because it wasn't going anywhere.

   Looks good. When I first saw the roof framing, I thought:"what the heck is going on here", but you pulled it off in the end. Nice job!

   I posted here looking for help on the 'extended' ridge long time ago.The original ridge extended about 6' past the gable end wall, and I wanted the new porch addition to mimic that. Once we cut back the roofing on the original overhang (2" thick boards) we sistered 12' 2x12's on either side of the original double 2x12 ridge - 6' lapping the original - 6' extending outwards. We then 'slid in' another double 12' 2x12 lapping the sisters by 6' and extending outward another 6' for the new overhang. All through bolted and ledger lock screwed to each other. Survived two winters so far!!!The cottage is in Northern Ontario - no electicity available.Photos of 'the babes', 'The Rock' (in it's final resting place) and a wider view of the cottage follow.Fun having to build the walls from the top down. Had to install new rafters butted to existing 2" roof deck board to 'plane' with 1/2" roof sheathing, figure wall height off rafter end.Let's not confuse the issue with facts!
