Help me build a corner pantry

All "eight foot" studs are 92 5/8" long. So, when you add the top and bottom plates you end up with a 8' wall.

Aren't there usually two bottom plates on a standard wall? I ended up with one top plate and two bottom plates and I still had to cut some off. Pretty good chance my house isn't exactly 8' though. I got both walls up either way. I'm going to have to pull one wall out to fit all the shelves in though I think.

Actually, typical framing uses two top plates with the top one being used to "lock in" intersecting walls.

Actually there are two different piles at the lumberyard, 8'(96") and what they call precuts (92 5/8")

I must be going to the wrong places or looking in the wrong place then, I Haven't seen 96" in a long time. It's either 92 5/8" or 10'
