Default Tall people

As a short inspector I don't have to cut rafters to be able to move around in my attic. Only tall people have to do that. This guy cut 12 of them for a grand total of a 24' span.

I'll give a perfect 10 for the consistency of the cuts (he used a chalk line)

Looks like he didn't cut rafters, but rather truss webs.

I've seen some pretty scary stuff in attics. This ranks with the worst.
