Abstract: This marking template is preferably made from die-cut uncorrugated cardboard with slots and holes adapted to position a marking tool to define the positions of cuts and holes to be made in a piece of material. Provision is made for cuts to be made at compound angles by forming the slots to intersect a fold line in the template, or extend on opposite sides of it, the slots forming an angle other than perpendicular to the fold line at one or both sides of the fold line. The slot portions for each cut are coplanar. The portions at opposite sides of the slot thus form the traces of a cutting plane disposed at an angle to either of the faces of the template. The template is adapted to be provided in a plurality of sections with respect to length through the use of interengageable slots and tabs, or by nails engaging aligned holes, that assure longitudinal and transverse alignment of the template sections.

Abstract: This invention relates to a building construction and method and a kit therefor wherein preferably a spaced front and back end panels are provided with spaced guide blocks positioned on the end panels for receiving therebetween purlins which extend between the end panels. Preferably a templet is used to determine the silhouette of the panels and the position of the guide blocks. The purlins are attached to each of the end panels and are guided to and supported in the correct position by the guide blocks. This construction is relatively simple and inexpensive by minimizing the requirement of fabrication of subassemblies such as rafter supports and the like.
