Crown plates and valley jacks

I didn't work on the house last week because I ended up needing to work...so that was great.  This week I decided to wrap up a few things that I needed to do.  First was the crown plates, which was pretty boring, but it's done now

The valley jacks were a complete pain since they're being put in at the wrong time.  First thing I did was put up some boards up for a reference

As I saw it, there were really only 2 ways to figure out all the angles I'd need, doing all the trigonometry or just do a bunch of cutting until I got it right.  I really didn't want to re-learn trig, so I did trial and error

There were 5 angles on the final valley jack, the two 21 degree angles that were there for the drywall to attach to, the 21 degree angle on the opposite side from that so the valley jack mounted correctly to the roof, the 27.5 - 30 degree angle to make it go at the same angle as the roof, and 45-50 degree angle since the valley in the roof is about a 45 degree angle from the other rafters and ceiling joists.  I took some pictures of it, but the angles really don't come across well on camera.

And this is what it looks like after being mounted

Luckily the other side was basically the same, so it went significantly faster.  But I also cut off a part for it to fit on the top of the wall in the corner

And this is what it looked like mounted, on both of them I pre-drilled all the holes for the screws so I didn't crack the wood

Last thing was putting the other false rafters for the drywall to attach to
