Yup, thanks for describing the problem and the caution. Your main issue is that the front framing isn't square. What you have is basically two rectangles, the bottom of the front wall and the top, angled part of the wall. Have you put a tape measure up to the top piece, diagonally, from corner to corner? If there is any luck, it may be that only the top part of the wall is way off. This still doesn't cure your dimensions issue but it might let you get the cap back on.
Back in my training days as a carpenter, this would be one of those lets-calm-down-and-just-get-it done right kind of deals. I'd have to bust out the prybar, the sawzall, and redo the framing. It's amazing how many nails a guy uses when he's not thinking about taking it apart.:B
Hope you can get the last bit of your project done. I followed the thread and you really were conscientious about how you did the framing, especially the roof. Wishing you the best of luck.
