Designer100 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 I cannot seem to work out roof above garage on right w.o messing up window, nest to front entry to the house. I would appreciate any suggestions someone can give me. Trying to get finished before going out of town tomorrow. Trying to keep the 4:12 pitch. I tried coming off just under windows with maybe a 2:12 roof to the 4:12 roof but could not get it to work. I have not had so many issues with a house plan. Thanks for any help., Beach_House_Corpus_Christi_plan_1.zip 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenGreene Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Not sure if this helps you or not but I dropped the porch ceiling a foot and changed the pitch of the roof in that area to 3.75/12. Drop it to 3.5 and it would easily come in under the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 You would still need another 4"-6" under the window for a sill flashing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any help., Beach_House_Corpus_Christi_plan_1.zip Sometimes its not about forcing something to work, but redesigning or adjusting the structure (assuming its new construction) to be fundamentally compatible with design, egress, building sciences (flashing Glenn mentions) etc etc. That can require going backwards to move forward. To me, without spending a bunch of time on it, I think you have that situation here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
