hi. im gathering ideas for a extension were hoping to do. its on a dormer bunglo with attic trusses to the second floor. there at 600 centres with two areas doubled up for 1600 dormer windows at the front of the house.
the plan is to extend the upstairs floor to the wall plate giving us roughly around 1200 more in the rooms. remove the pitch ceelings and build a timbre framed flat dormer roof straight up off the wall plate to ceeling hight and clad the outside.
i assume that the only way the rest of the roof will stay up is if we run an rsj from one gable to the other.
something similar to this photo.
is there another way round this?
