Ya so is there a question? Those rafter tails are a lil short and I said to cut two rafters , one pair and try that same pair on both ends , not to cut 2 pr. 4 each rafters  

But ya they appear to be OK , not great but OK the fits / cuts .

 Your worry about the ridge and it's height is some what misplaced . Unless your up against some local ordinance for height restrictions , does it matter?

You can cut the post it seems your intending to put under the ridge brd after all the rafters are up , so you can work the ridge / rafters combos together for a good fit, if it';s 3/8", 1/2" , etc higher or lower than the calcuations say it "should be " what the big deal? Your hung up on manusha !

There's whats refered to as the measuring line on a rafter , your book should cover that, that measuring line , [highlight]generally [/highlight]is considered the top of the birds mouth . So the exact top of the rafter and ridge are "some what" driven by the added height . So don't get fixsated by any exact #'s you may "think" are important.

In other words don't get frozen / stop building because some # is "off",  if it fits and you step back and the ridge isn't way outta wack  / not level to your eye,,,,,,,,,,,, bend down and sign the ridge thru to another house eave or ridge line , if they sort of follow each other move on/ keep building .   8-)

 OK pep talk is over  get back at it
