Twisted rafters on ridge board

[scruffybiker]

Hello,

I live in a 100+ year old home with the same age roof rafters. In that that time some of the rafters have twisted in the natural drying process and the rafter cuts that meet the ridge board are twisted,so the full face of the rafter cut is not sitting completely flush on ridge board. Is this a massive problem? I've spoken to 3 different roofers I know who weren't concerned at all and see it alot on older houses. Thanks

No worries - they probably twisted in the first 10 years
