Does anyone have any ideas on placing rafters?
If by that question you mean how does one calculate lengths, cuts and how does one get them up there and start framing the roof John Wagner's book
House Framing is a good place to start. You can buy it through John's Amazon referral listing and help support this web forum.

It's at the top of the list. The 2nd and 3rd books are good as well.
If you have a more specific question, please post it here and I'm sure you will get answers.

or go to the blue line above -- Home-help-search - and click that search and search the word birdsmouth and /or rafters for past discussions.
This can figure rafter lengths for various pitches.

For this roof enter 95.25 and 12 for pitch.
