The dormers on my house are attached to roof rafters that are tripled up. There are studs running from under the rafters down to the subfloor. This creates a small (about 5'x5' area between the gable end and the dormer. I'm starting to frame out the unfinished space. A request was made to turn this small area into a doll play area. Do I need to head these studs off or can I just remove them? I don't think they are bearing, there is no wall downstairs directly under that area.
