Room Dimensions:17′-3″x23′
Foyer Dimensions: 5′x7′
Ceilings vaulted. Stone veneer fireplace. Timberframe structure to support roof. May raise roof to accommodate loft over bedroom/bathroom area?
Planning
Prior to addition construction:
- Roof joists must be replaced
- Supports (and beams) in basement need to be moved
- Floor joists doubled up- current lumber is 2×8 exactly (not dimensional) so we may need to get 2×10’s and rip them down.
- Existing porch removed
Questions:
- When adding new wall on South side of house, when do we remove existing wall?
- Additional support needed under fireplace with veneers?
Special Considerations
- Additional supp
Design/ Layout
