  Please use the attached link to access the elevation sketch of the proposed truss to support the ridges.  Let me know any concerns etc.

  Thanks.

  Here are some comments on the electrical layout:

  1. A small track light exists on the breakfast nook right now. We may be able to use it as long as it blends in to the other decor. The switch which operates this is in the wall that is being demolished though.
  2. I think you have indicated a track light in the family room ceiling to be a continuous suspended fixture. Would that be better or should we have  2/3 small fixtures with 4 lights each as I have seen in your living room/office.
  3. I need a junction box/outlet outside the house. This will serve as a power outlet for seasonal holiday lighting
  4. This is not related to the lighting - but does the demolition plan include getting rid of the the deck around the house ?

  Tim,

  Had a few questions:

  1. We are not doing any change to the roof in the rear as we said the existing roof can handle the extension of the living room on to the pillar in the deck. Does it still leave enough space so that rain water etc do not fall directly on the living room doors ? How much of an extension do we need ?

  2. When I see the existing and new right elevations, I see a vaulted roof in the middle. Is this correct ? I thought we are not changing any roof in the whole house except for the den/office.

  3. When I see the existing and new left elevations, I think I see a lot more roof changes that I thought we are going to do. I thought we are not changing anything on the left side of the chimney. I understand the right side of the chimney need to change for the extension. I will have to understand this further to get a clear picture in mind.

  Will call you sometime tomorrow to talk about these.

  Tim, Looked at all the drawings. Looks great. Here are my comments:

  1) Would like to do some stonework on the front to make it look nice.

  2) Want to replace all the windows to double pane. So please show them. The master bed slider also needs to be changed especially since it has a dry rot in the frame that the inspections revealed.

  I know you are worried about the costs. But my thought is that this is a one time deal for us. We would like to do as much possible (within the budget obviously). When it really stretches a lot we will have to look at cutting down at that point.

  3) I see a slight indent in the wall between the extended den and the full bathroom. Why is that needed ? Wont it look better if they are in the same line. Another thing we talked about last week is to switch the places for the vanity and the linen closet so that the vanity window will face the front door.

  Cheers, Nari

  Tim, I cant see your previous comment. Not sure where the issue is.
