I hope these make sense....

The board going across the ends of the rafters is called a fascia board. On a human house it holds the gutters. On my coop (no gutters) it acts as part of my baffle to slow wind and keep rain out..

Same coop. See how it is open underneath? That's for airflow.

Inside that exact same corner. This pic has a LOT of data...
Darker board going upward is a wall stud. Rafter sits directly above wall stud to transfer load. In a human house 16" on center is pretty standard. In a shed or coop wider spacing is ok. Mine are 2' on center. You can also see the no no critter hardware cloth and another part of my baffle attempt. I have short 2x4's in between the rafters to hold the wire and spaced back from the wall to let air move.

You would need to build something like this to extend your wall. Your studs would be 21" with a 2x4 above and below them to equal 24".

I would DEFINITELY draw your plan on graph paper so if you need to change an angle to make the most of each board you can just by erasing.

Oh and both the high side of my roof and the low side have open soffits.

I was reviewing your sketch and realized that some words appear cut off. Could you get me another pic, pretty please?
Thank you!

Aw dang! I can't believe I didn't notice that.
I also got distracted with house stuff here and never did any drawings for you.

It read 3 whole 2x4x8's or 2 whole 2x4x8's and the scraps from the roof trusses.

My best guess here....
If you are raising one side 2' and leaving the other side as is your trusses need to be roughly 6'....I need to draw it to confirm. If that is correct you would need 5 trusses and the pieces getting cut off would be enough for your wall studs (the 21" boards in the quick sketch).

I will make time tomorrow to get it done early.

You're totally fine! I should have been spending the super cold days dry fitting stuff in the garage, but it’s super cold in there too. And my freezing fingers don't wanna do much, lol
Don't put yourself out because of our poor planning.

Happy birthday, Cappy!

Henny,
For the screaming malamonster, have you tried a cornelia spray bark collar, nothing to have to go through fur, there's one that is remote control if the others don't pick up the bark with the thick fur.

I totally understand cold fingers and a big no from them.
It won't take me long at all to draw it up. I have TONS of drawings for stuff I have built, want to build and ideas I scrapped due to end cost or space.

I think that is the only type he didn't try with her. I will mention it thanks.



Good morning everyone.

Cold and snow covered out there. It's not a lot of snow at all but it made the roads slick. Hubs was out around midnight on a 12 car pile up.
