'MILANO' SPACECRAFT FROM THE SCI-FI MOVIE 'GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY'. 1  THE HOLLYWOOD HIT Guardians of the Galaxy was a rip-roaring space opera that punched its way to popularity, and now stands in third place on the Marvel Studios all-time hit list.
Definition of knee wall. : a partition for supporting roof rafters when the span is great or for forming a side wall (as of a second-story room) under a pitched roof.
A 'hinge' is formed at the bottom of the knee wall / top of foundation wall. I have seen quite a few houses with this condition and there is nothing visibly failing. However it seems hard to justify. The foundation wall would either have to span horizontally or the weight of the wall needs to resit overturning.
