We got the first walls up today. Man, were these things heavy!

I also wrote a little spreadsheet this week to calculate the heights of studs on a sloped roof wall. We experienced this math problem on the last house — say you have a wall that’s 12 feet long and it’s 95″ tall at one end and 100″ tall at the other (to provide for a low slope roof). What are the stud lengths at 4″, 12″, 24″, etc. all the way down the wall? Now we have a nifty little calculator that lets you plug in the wall length, the high and low measurements, and stud positions. Then it cranks out the length for each one.

Say, is there an app for that?
