Best Answer

If the plate height gets higher increase the depth of the birds mouth that sits on the plate. The birds mouth is the notch cut out of the rafter that allows it to sit flat on the top of the plate. If the plate is low then you will need to place a packer on top of the plate.

When putting up stub walls how do the corners get fastened togetter and where do they tie in?

Making sure we are talking about the same thing, I'm thinking you are in the attic and building a short wall on the sides to square up the slope of the attic? If that's the case just build the wall the height you want, cut the tops of the studs at the angle of the roof, rip a top plate with one side beveled the same, set it in place and nail to existing rafters. If the rafters are exposed, you can cut individual studs and not have a top plate. Snap a line so that they run straight.
