We had talked to John about building a screened in back porch, something that we thought would be a relatively simple affair. It has caused us to redesign the entire 2nd floor. Huh?
Just to show how much of a puzzle this thing is, adding a screened in porch on the back of the house has us scrambling to redesign everything upstairs. The roofline of the screened in porch was going to be so flat/low that we were going to have to use a metal roof, something that would have been really expensive. When John designed the upstairs, he didn't make the back gable wall go all the way to the back of the house (to save on square footage) and I think now that we got around to doing some side elevations we realized how much of a problem that was going to cause, especially with a porch (of any kind).
So LeAnne and I are trying to reach a consensus on the upstairs. Our square footage has again ballooned, and is now over 1900 sq. ft. So much for our humble 1300 sq. ft. cottage.
