this is my dilema how to do the trusses in the red circle connecting one to the other and how to do the gully advice already given about using lead but unsure as to the construction of it.

how do u do a t join mate


You make one complete shed and join in another at right angles, unless you are really good at angles and tiling making an L shaped loft takes a bit of doing
The T shape can be any distance from the gable or in line with it, you will only need lead gulleys down the joins and ridge caps along the apex
Rough drawing

As dovescot says fully tiled at back with angles cut in on side , if you use joists for holding floors up can use a joist bracket as will fit this design
