Hi, I would need some tips. We have built a new roof for a smaller log cabin. The roof became higher and got a different pitch, and now I'm thinking of framing up the last bit of the old interior walls. But how is it usually done against the ceiling? On the rafters, I'm planning to put furring strips and then gypsum. Here are two pictures of how it looks now.
Should one build top plates at the same angle as the rafter and attach them to the rafter, or should they be attached to the furring strips? Or just let the standing studs go up into the ceiling a bit and attach them to the rafters?

How have you attached the wall studs to the rafter legs? With nail plates?
Then you first need to know how much insulation you will have. Just the thickness of the rafter minus air gap?
You need to have a wall plate on the wall. I would screw this into the rafter legs and possibly recess it into the wall studs if it's a standing wall plate.

Hello, do you mean how I attached the roof trusses to the log frame? I haven't done anything with the interior wall yet. Yes, insulation will be the thickness of the roof truss minus the air gap. It is a log frame all around; this is just a framed interior wall with more insulation inside the log frame, which now doesn't reach all the way up to the new roof.
