Ridge Assembly
Joining the two roof slopes at the ridge, i.e., capping the roof.
Ridge assembly is the final, critical step in roof construction, involving the joining and capping of the front and rear roof slopes at the highest ridge point. This action symbolizes the completion of the main structure of the house. Traditionally considered an extremely auspicious event, it must be performed on an auspicious day, signifying a stable 'ridgepole' and the upward convergence of family fortune.
