you are asking a question that is impossible to answer, without the right information or even a site visit.

you normally bed a wall plate to the inside skin of the building and then pitch the roof off the plate. the ceiling joists then span from one side of the plate to the other.

or, if it's trusses, simply fix them to the plate using truss clips.

next fit the fascia and soffit.

you then felt, lathe and tile the roof in.

fix the gutter and you're away.
