Two Story Home With Wrap Around Porch And Steep Roof Project - Introduction And Part 1
This video is the first part of a series on building a two-story house with a wrap-around porch and a steep roof. It also provides an overview of the project, including the house layout, foundation, floor framing, and roof framing.
Here are some key points from the video:
The house features a wrap-around porch, a large family room, a kitchen, a laundry area, and a master bedroom with a sitting area.
The foundation is a concrete slab without anchor bolts.
The floor framing uses truss joists and engineered lumber for beams and rim joists.
The roof framing includes a steep roof with a 12/12 pitch and a ridge beam.
The video will be broken down into sections to focus on specific areas of the house.
The creator plans to add a garage with a breezeway in future videos.
Here are some bonus tips:
Consider the climate when designing a house with a wrap-around porch, as snow accumulation can be an issue.
Use engineered lumber and truss joists for efficient floor framing.
Pay attention to header sizes and support requirements for structural integrity.
Consult a structural engineer for specific project requirements and load calculations.
Consider the impact of plumbing, heating, and electrical systems on wall framing.
Consider the impact of exterior door locations on deck and patio design.
Consult local building authorities for clarification on building codes and structural requirements.
