Framing a tiny house roof

A tiny house without a loft would mean you would need a longer footprint so I figured I'd do a loft bed on mine. A steep 12/12 pitch roof over the main area and a 3/12 pitch over the loft bed for more head room might make for a nice looking roofline. Framing a tiny house roof was new to me so after some research I decided to run a single ridge board from one end of the structure to the other where all the rafters will attach to for a little extra strength. Since I was going to use a metal roof, I was going to save on weight and the snow load would slip off much faster than waiting for snow and ice to melt off of a shingled roof.

After I have the loft walls up and the ridge board and rafters, its time to support the two gable ends and bolt everything together. All joints will either have hurricane straps or bolts that secure the structure together. Even at 55 mph on the expressway, that's enough to pull a weak joint apart.

I'm going to have 12 inch overhangs at both gable ends so I framed them in here. This will give a more cozy feel to the Tiny house and a place for the exterior lighting to recess into. Now It's time I think about sheeting the roof with osb and a roofing material.
