How do I connect the walls?
I am building an 8' x 10' building with a roof that slants. One load bearing wall is 8'-9 1/8" (east side) in height, the other is 7'-6 1/16" (west side). I am not sure how to tie in the sill plates to the North and South walls which have a height range from above mentioned lengths.
Thank you for your time!
The height of the walls is irrelevant as far as putting the two intersecting walls together (nailing). Just nail stud to stud. As for getting the top plates to line up in a horizontal plane, you don't. Leave the top plate on the shorter wall cut back 3 1/2 in. from the end and let the plate from the slanted wall cross over it. You'll just have to adjust you two end rafters to compensate for that little bit sticking up (cut bird's mouth on the slope of the slanted wall).
If you haven't built the walls, just frame the two side walls the same height as the shorter wall, and tie the top plates together. Set the rafters and fill in with a knee wall (blocks from top plate to underside of rafter). The blocks will have a bevel the same as the slope of the roof and vary in height as you go from one end to the other.
