I'm retarded, yeah, I said 3.5, 1.5 is what I meant. So, that is (1.5x1.5) + (1.5x1.5) = c x c
So the inner length should be 112.76
The 113 that I get is roughly that, damn. Dunno why I am having so much trouble getting this to fit together right.
Building a shed, question

Fox, man, I am freaking confused. I have had no problems with this shed really, minus these gable ends, and soon to be the rafters I think, but all of the stuff I read assumes a lot of basic understanding of framing. So looking at that image I attached, how the hell do I nail the studs to the bottom plate and the angled pieces that would make up the roof? 3.5" nails is what it calls for, and there doesn't seem to really be longer nails out there that aren't specialty nails. How am I supposed to get 3.5" in to attach the studs? I can see where I can do it on the bottom obviously, but at the top I can only really get it from the oblique angle, how do I attach them at the top on the tight acute angle?
I swear, I need a dummies book. I am good at following plans and can figure out most stuff, but how to properly nail this stuff together is just assumed, and it's annoying as hell.

You start with the bottom plate, and nail upwards into the studs that are angled at the top. Start from the middle of the bottom plate and nail the bottom plate to the longest stud with the two angle cuts at the top (it'll form an upside-down T). Then work outwards on the bottom plate making sure the spacing is 16" OC (or 16" from the outside edge of one stud to the next outside edge of the next stud).
After all the studs are nailed to the bottom plate, all you have to do is attach the top plates and align accordingly.
Honestly, I would use screws here since I'm assuming you don't have a nailgun. Hand nailing this could prove troublesome.

Hmm, or this?

I know everyone has a hard on for Porter Cable, should I go with the name? I'm not sure if it has the same features as the Dewalt.

Hmm, PC problem is that model is online only, don't have time to order. They sell the same model, that accepts 22 degree nail strips at the local store though, but that makes for a bulkier gun. The Dewalt is 31 degrees, and it's a shorter unit by about 2 inches in height. PC comes with a case.
Hmm, Dewalt is much lighter than the model PC they sell locally, gonna go with it I guess.

Get the Dewalt if that's what you really want. Hold it in your hand and compare it to the PC or one of the other brands I mentioned.
I'm just speaking from experience. I don't know if a Dewalt nailer is good or bad as I've heard nothing about them.
Unless you're constantly working in tight locations, a 22 degree is the standard size.
