    I make a habit of cutting with any bow up and out. That way it tends to open up as i cut, instead of binding.

    Thanks. They're not quite four feet tall. The rafters were about 3x3's 20 feet long, and had sagged about 5 inches in the middle. Some had split. With opposing wedges over those trusses, also tied to the ceiling joists, the rafters went right back up to being nice, and straight, for a flat roof. That house also had some other trouble with long spans for ceiling joists, and the trusses solved that problem too. There is another one under the other half of that roof.
