Hi Paul Traceski

Nice house!

This is how I'd approach this to get the exact numbers (please, see image attached - for a best visualization, I worked with inches)

I traced a line following the front wall (I assumed that you meant 6' = 72"). Therefore, we have
- Left side: you have a triangle with a base= 144" and height= 54". This means a pitch of = ((12 x 54)/ 144 = 4.5 => pitch 4.5:12
- Right side: There is a difference of 23.25" between the front wall and the back wall --> so you have a triangle with a base= 144" and height= 30.75" (54"-23.25"). This means a pitch of = ((12 x 30.75)/ 144 = 2.56 => pitch 2.56:12

Let me know if you need additional help

Dear Patricia: Actually, 6" is 6", not 72". See the web page. I will look at your solution. What I did in the meantime was to put a centered 1/4" wide 129" high interior wall and tweaked both pitch values like Etch-A-Sketch knobs to center the roof peak within an inch of where it needed to be, within the accuracy of my measurement. I then deleted the target wall.

Hi Paul,

Something doesn't fit. So you say that one of the walls is 6"and the other is 95,25 inches?. This is not what I see in the picture.
If you wish, send me an email with a hand made sketch (and a short reminder of this post) and I will be glad to create the wall for you

First tried to measure angles but could not get that close with calculated tangents of measured angles. I was certain of the actual wall heights and peak height.The target 126" interior wall was an easy target for trial and error. Eventual A and B pitches got the Punch roof image correct within an inch of measured: South wall <br> Blue line 6” <br> A: 9 3/8 <br> B: 2 <br> C: 95.25 changes to 7’-11 ¼” North wall. <br> Blue line 95.25 changes to 7’-11 ¼” <br> A: 2 <br> B: 9 3/8 <br> C: 6” West wall 6" ( I could top it with my hand reaching under the soffit on a ladder on the front porch first floor. East wall 92.25"
