Use sheathing cutoffs from Step 33 to fit and
install under the front and back dormer walls.
Nail the top of the sheathing into the 2x3
nailer using 7d coated sinker nails spaced 8"
apart. Nail into each soffit block as well.

Cut a 5/8" plywood panel into the sizes
shown above. Install the 8-3/4" panel
1" from the peak of the gambrel trusses.
Install the 48" next, inserting plyclips
between the smaller and large sheathing
panels. Use 7d sinkers spaced 6" apart
to install sheathing.

Screw (2) two 2x3-6' long boards (cut boards

top corner of the 2x3 board with the top of the
2x6 truss.
