I am planning on building a 20'x12' shed roof cabin (monopitch) on my property and need some help with the framing, especially the side walls.

I have a question about the front wall being 12' high and the back wall being 8' high, using 2x6 lumber. When I cut the bird mouth on the rafters to fit the back wall, the other end rests on the front wall without contact. Is this the correct approach or does it need to be adjusted for better support?

Can anyone help me with some advice? Thanks!

I'm not sure I understand your question, are you going to cut birds mouth on both ends?

Looks that question was from a spammer (had a hidden link in signature, since deleted) but thanks for jumpin' in to help!
