  1. I go with Joe,

     

    The floor extends out and the rafters sit on the edge of this floor and the dormer walls are flush with the floor band at this point.

     

    Just did an asbuilt of this very situation.

     

    The folks bought the house and didn't like the Mansard roof .House had walls that went to the point of the upper roof. Removed sloped lower roof and cut joists back to flush with lower wall  then over framed upper roof with a stepper pitch to achieve the colonial look the client was going for.

     

    Also a few other things but I think you can see where we went with this project.

     

    Have a great week ,Ken

  2. I don't keep time on my projects anymore. Did when I first started and charged by the hour but had a couple clients that wanted to question the time so just charge by square ft and extent of the job.That way the client knows up front what it is going to cost and I know what I am going to have coming in.

     

    Charge half up front and rest on completion of job.That seperates the serious from the shopers and info seekers.

     

    Have a great Week,Ken

  3. Larry,

    I had this problem this week and after not being able to open x-7 to work on a plan I had started in X-7 called teck support and answer was to open task manager and it showed X-7 open .Closed it in task manager and clicked on X-7 icon and hit run as administrator. Opened with no problem that way.

     

    Hope this works for you, Have a great week ,Ken
