Framing out an attic question.
Framing out an attic.
Run the plywood down to the top of the knee wall.
Stand the front wall and align it with the marks on the floor.
Collar ties are horizontal members that like rafter ties extend from rafter to rafter but.
Use screws to attach sheets of birch plywood to the angled ceiling over the insulation making sure to drive the screws into the ceiling joists.
If you want your attic space to have a flat ceiling you ll need to add collar ties to the framing.
Shim under the bottom plate to level it if necessary then nail it into the floor joists with 16d nails.
Plumb the corners with a level and brace them with 2x4s.
