JPalmer3 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I have an addition being built on an angle to an existing house. The most sensible way to frame the roof to me involves having a gable carry through the main structure that ends prior to reaching the adjacent wall that is at an angle. I will then need to hang a ledger board on that gable wall and frame a shed roof off of it down to the back angled wall. So, here is the problem....I need to build the back gable wall on top of a beam, as it does not line up with any walls on the first floor. Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on how to attack this? I would even be willing to settle for a way to just generate a gable wall from under the roof so at least the exterior view of the house didn't have a big hole in it!

solver Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Please post images directly. No need to make a PDF of an image. To fill in the hole, go to the attic level and draw in your own wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
