@Aarthi Thanks for looking. I guess it's getting pushed off but everything else on the board (I'm seeing the event, a blog post, and two varying meta questions)
My wife and I recently moved into our first home. Its a raised ranch in CT that was built in 1967. I've been doing a large number of "refreshing" myself on the inside, however I hired a roofing contractor to replace our end of life roof. It was a 2 layer job so we had to go with the whole rip ...
Sounds like the user really just wanted to talk to the contractor, but he was unavailable. So the user decided to air their concerns on the internet instead.
@BMitch Hmm... Maybe I'm having such a hard time, because the answer is simple. Talk to the roofer. He is the only one that can say what he's willing to do to make the customer happy.
I have very good building experience but in a house we bought recently I have been wondering what the heck to do with my loft. Initially its converted to a mini workshop / storage
The max height is 1.8m from the floor boards to the centre of the roof. I stand up straight just about. The previous...

You might sister the joists to the existing ones, but you'll need the 2x6 that Chris says, as long as that interior wall is designed to bear the additional load

I went to Carleton University in Ottawa. It was called "Hull" then. At that time closing time was 1 am in Ontario, and 3am in Quebec. Needless to say, we spent some time across the river.
