So it's never to early to start planning so I want to hear thoughts, ideas, recommendations, etc about our (hopefully) new place and planned upstairs master suite addition.
I am strongly leaning floor trusses at the moment to make mechanical work faster so I can dry the place in as quickly as possible.
Blown in fiberglass walls and vaulted ceilings.
Malarkey Legacy shingles
Oxford grey or storm grey
Keeping the white siding, adding black corner posts, black freiz boards, black facia, and white drip edge.
Where I will need to carry load down in the crawlspace, would footings on grade be ok or should I dig holes for the footings?
Should I screw the ceilings to the new floor trusses or will attaching the remaining chords of the roof trusses to the new trusses be sufficent?
Anyway, that is enough to start with I guess I am meeting with a customer of mine who is an architect and owes me a drawing sometime this week. (Needed to shave a few bucks off a project for him so we made a trade off for $750 to get it into budget, right now I am quite pleased with myself for being so creative...lol)
For those who missed it....current floorplan.
Proposed addition
Current attic space
