The roof I have pictured in post #51 has a 2x10 ridge with 2x12 rafters, the ridge is broken into 4 sections of 16' each. There are collar ties at 48" laterally - 14' off the floor - only 36" from the peak. The flat ceiling is only there for lights. All 3 dormers across the front are bearing on double rafters on either side into the ridge. The only bearing is front to back....
In fact - the ridge doesnt go all the way through as it breaks for 6' within the cupola....
