Since I used regular joist hangers, I decided to cut a birds-mouth in each, and then add a screw with a large washer to keep the rafters from splitting over time.

I wasn't really sure how I wanted to handle this part, but I guess this should be fine.

On this last part I was able to leave the old roof and build the new one over it which was cool.  In a way it was in memory of my neighbor who did on his house a few years before and passed away last week from covid.  We miss you John 😢
