Roof Joist
Roof "V" joist. Consists of 2x4 lumber with notches cut so that this form can rest atop the side walls of the structure. A tape measure revealed the notch corners to be exactly 48 inches apart, a perfect fit! Note that the apex of the inverted "V" was accomplished by careful "toenailing" of the boards using at least six nails.
