I hired a carpenter, threw a term I don’t quite understand at him that hasn’t been used since the 1950s and when he didn’t know what it meant I fired him. Now I’m insulating the shingles myself.

Should have said knee wall. Definitely more well known term in framing

[Tears of joy][Tears of joy][Tears of joy][Tears of joy] if he doesn't know what's a parapet wall he ain't no carpenter, all he need to know was the height and were you wanted that parapet wall.
On a second thought perhaps you should use the term of knee wall.

A parapet wall is built on the perimeter of the roof, usually a flat roof.

I’m no carpenter but the only parapet wall I’ve ever built was on a bridge. I guess the term could span across diff trades tho

Maybe you should have shown him the correct dimensions, and helped out.

Carpenters dont do this job. At least not in Germany. Carpenters job is building the kitchen you want or your tv table and all

Only time I’ve ever heard parapet used outside of this post is in the Hamilton musical, set in the 1700’s… maybe don’t use outdated terminology
