A lot of the walls that I'm putting up will need to have an angled portion to go along with the roof line, so they're more tricky to build. At least the roof is a 30 degree slope so it's relatively easy to cut everything. I put this wall up and down every time to make sure everything fit, this is one of the earlier dry fits:
And this is how I "measured" the length for each of the angled studs:
To secure the wall to the existing wall I used a piece of 2x4 as a spacer with a few of the old nails that have to be 4.5" long to go through all of it. After cutting out the hole for the vent, putting on the crown plate, and nailing everything together, here it is:

Journey through remodeling my house. The original goal of this blog is to look back on the project 20 years from now, when pictures aren't enough to remember everything, and I thought this was easiest way to do it. But I'm regretting that since Blogger's interface is only getting worse. I only update this periodically even though I'm usually working on something and taking pictures.
