The top plate of the original wall is lower than the top plate of the new walls. Martin cut the rafters and added new top plates to the old walls to bring their heights up to the needed level.
Renovation of a 400 square foot house built in 1922 located in Cornish, Maine. The original foundation was 20 feet by 20 feet. At some point in the house's history a small (10' x 8') addition was put on the back. Later that addition was removed and enlarged to an addition the full width of the house and remained 8 foot deep.
