After installing the new garage door a few months ago, it is quickly weathering due to water getting on it......so an overhang was in order. The previous owner did not put any kind of overhang on the garage....WTF?

So I got some material on Saturday, and built the supports late in the afternoon.....no exposed fastners.....

My neighbor helped me hang them on Sunday morning, pretty much everything else I did by myself.....my son helped for a few minutes and so did Kimberly.....

Here is the blocking inside the garage to hang the supports on, there are cool torx T50 lag bolts that are grade 5 material....

Never built rafters before....did not measure any angle, just got the angle copier tool and laid it out on the house and copied the angle, set my saw and all other cuts using it.....

The night before I was thinking of when I could get the douglas fir beadboard for the inside and remembered that I had left over bamboo flooring from the 2-flat.....it's pre finished, I needed 33" pieces, the bamboo is 38", so it worked perfectly and did not cost me a dime!!!

Then I put 3/4" OSB on top of it and screwed it down......
