Come on you guys. Rafters are what hold the roof
surface up. (You know the things that are sort of
pointy in the UP direction)

The things you walk on in an attic are ceiling
joists.

So, if you're in the living room, those 2 x 12s the ceiling is
nailed to are rafters, but if you're in the attic stepping
on their top edge, they're joists? ?:-/

Thanks,
