Hello All
I plan to build a shed where the base will be 5x2 joists running from joist hangers attached to the outside wall of the house. The far side of those joists will sit on a wall plate on a dwarf wall which in turn sits on concrete footings.
What I am struggling with is how to finish that far side. If I just get on and lay some OSB or ply then I'll end up with big gaps inbetween the joists. On a roof the rafters would obvisouly run clear of the wall and then be capped with fasia and soffit. But what to do at ground level?
If I run each joist/"rafter" to be flush with the edge of the wallplate would it then be ugly to cap them with a length of 5x2 ? OR should I bring the joists out from the wall a bit or just leave them open for ventillation (and rats) ?
Any thoughts gratefully received.
