The summary is:
The video is a tutorial on how to cut and install a hip roof, which consists of three components: the hip rafter, the jack rafters and the king rafter. The narrator explains the four steps of calculating, marking, cutting and installing the rafters, using a framing square, a calculator and a saw. He also demonstrates how to adjust the framing square for different types of rafters, how to determine the height above plate, the hip drop, the tail and the soffit cut. He uses some tricks and tips to make the process easier and more accurate. He repeatedly tells the viewers to do things because he said so, and assures them that his method works.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The text is a transcript of a video that shows how to cut and install a hip roof.
2. A hip roof consists of three components: the hip rafter, the jack rafters, and the king rafter.
3. The only two things needed to calculate the rafters are the run and the pitch of the roof.
4. The hip rafter is one size larger than the common rafters and has a double bevel cut at the top and the tail.
5. The jack rafters are common rafters that are interrupted by the hip rafter and have a 45-degree bevel cut at the plumb cut.
6. The height above plate of the common and hip rafters must match, and it is determined by measuring down from the top of the rafter.
7. The hip drop is based on half the thickness of the hip rafter and it is adjusted by moving the seat cut up from the plumb line.
8. The tail of the jack rafter is extended by 7/16 of an inch to make sure it lands 16 inches on center with the last common rafter.
