Two out of three trusses should land pretty much on top of a stud, and two out of three ain't bad.
vista
Dbl top plate, no problem. Lay it out so every 3rd land on a stud for consistancy and beauty.
Fairly normal, if you have a double top plate.
are the walls framed yet?
If the walls aren't yet framed, then consider framing them 2' oc. If they are already framed, then do what Big Cal wrote.
Thanks Jim
I failed to state the obvious.........on this house we built we did the opposite -2' on the walls, 16" on the rafters.
Which in turn leads to this.......nothing much prettier than a frame stacked from bottom to top, which vista could do with your suggestion. Nothing pretty lasts forever, soon to be covered up. Finished, maybe never.
so, speaking of never, we gonna see you again around Boston in August?
