Thread:

Finally had my first real renovation/carpenter by to look at my window situation. - oc 2017-11-09 00:10:00 (482 views)
- Update: Had a couple more roofers come out for good measure. - oc 2018-02-13 00:30:51 (279 views)
- How often does/will that room get used? That's a serious chunk of dough to spend... - 5speed6 2017-11-09 14:49:44 (424 views)
  - Currently it's not used at all. - oc 2017-11-09 15:15:41 (374 views)
    - There is no way the dormer roof is "the same cost regardless"... - 5speed6 2017-11-10 02:13:40 (367 views)
      - He'd pay for the 4 transom windows. The roofing material and framing material adds are marginal.  -  irish21  2017-11-10 07:33:44 (437 views)
        
        I do think we would want some sort of windows that open, just to get some fresh air.  -  oc  2017-11-10 10:33:35 (345 views)
        
        I'd do the large windows as casements. 2 outside windows operable, middle 2 fixed.  -  irish21  2017-11-10 12:37:24 (321 views)
        
        That sounds like a good idea.  -  oc  2017-11-10 12:55:17 (353 views)
        
        It IS a good idea. Exactly my setup at the other house.  -  5speed6  2017-11-10 23:49:52 (332 views)
    - $10k might cover the cost of the windows only. Maybe. - gription 2017-11-09 16:13:02 (311 views)
      - I refuse to accept that. There has got to be a much cheaper alternative...  -  5speed6  2017-11-10 02:03:47 (379 views)
        
        It's eight windows and 4 of them are huge. They're going to be expensive.  -  irish21  2017-11-10 07:37:31 (352 views)
        
        Hmm I was thinking just that, vinyl in dark color.  -  oc  2017-11-10 10:28:00 (395 views)
        
        I have Pella 350 series, dark Brown on the exterior. 6 years so far...  -  5speed6  2017-11-10 23:57:18 (343 views)
        
        Aluminum-clad, most likely. Jeld-Wen Siteline woud be my preference for "affordable".  -  irish21  2017-11-10 12:40:41 (344 views)
        
        Hmm trying to picture the beams just hanging out there with nothing above them.  -  oc  2017-11-10 12:50:45 (323 views)
        
        I think it'd be a fun detail, and leave a reference back to the original design.  -  irish21  2017-11-10 07:57:07 (306 views)
        
        The more I look at it I'm not certain the dormer   -  oc  2017-11-11 11:14:29 (359 views)
        
        judging by that photo, you have plenty of light - I would get rid of the roof windows and just build  -  TheLex  2017-11-12 00:26:48 (360 views)
        
        A good amount of the light is coming from those roof windows.  -  oc  2017-11-12 02:14:40 (336 views)
        
        ----- 2 skylight windows---   -  5speed6  2017-11-12 02:23:43 (333 views)
        
        Unitized skylights right on the front facade? Pretty.   -  irish21  2017-11-12 08:39:08 (328 views)
        
        Not familiar with that term.  -  oc  2017-11-12 11:14:40 (351 views)
        
        Unitized means a commodity skylight rather than one custom built for a specific location.  -  irish21  2017-11-12 12:04:40 (356 views)
        
        So you're saying I shouldn't use a couple of these?   -  oc  2017-11-12 12:18:44 (425 views)
        
        He is leading you to spend $10K just on the skylights...awesome!   -  5speed6  2017-11-12 14:58:43 (300 views)
        
        Actually, I'm telling him not to put in skylights at all, thanks.   -  irish21  2017-11-12 20:36:52 (341 views)
        
        I never said you were, just the negativity towards them and the reference to...  -  5speed6  2017-11-12 22:54:24 (327 views)
        
        Eh? irish's design doesn't utilize any skylights.   -  oc  2017-11-12 15:06:30 (333 views)
        
        No, but his reference to a "custom" one rather than O.T.S. was my basis.  -  5speed6  2017-11-12 15:50:08 (326 views)
        
        I'm not so sure about "confused" more hesitant and cautious.  -  oc  2017-11-12 16:07:50 (359 views)
        
        One other thing I would like to add from a different standpoint...  -  5speed6  2017-11-12 23:16:05 (401 views)
        
        My design doesn't need custom windows or skylights.  -  irish21  2017-11-13 17:43:19 (344 views)
        
        I guess I will find out if I do got this route and have some contractors bid both concepts.  -  oc  2017-11-13 01:44:35 (312 views)
        
        No apologies necessary for all the questions . That is how you get different opinions.  -  5speed6  2017-11-12 22:57:52 (335 views)
        
        The difference is that pilot and I both do this professionally.  -  irish21  2017-11-12 20:36:23 (359 views)
        
        Thanks irish.  -  oc  2017-11-13 01:28:39 (350 views)
        
        And I've been on the other side of this equation...  -  5speed6  2017-11-12 22:49:23 (346 views)
        
        I deal with contractors and budgets daily.  -  irish21  2017-11-12 22:59:59 (345 views)
        
        It is great that you provide the "full package" for your clients.  -  5speed6  2017-11-12 23:40:21 (335 views)
        
        Yes, the idea is that the dormer roof would be above the current roof.  -  irish21  2017-11-11 13:36:58 (326 views)
        
        I hear you, I just was looking at the overall size of these things  -  oc  2017-11-11 17:43:16 (331 views)
        
        I'm just trying to picture it, might look cool.  -  oc  2017-11-10 13:11:58 (352 views)
      - Yes that's what I'm thinking. - oc 2017-11-09 16:17:33 (346 views)

      - Those are large windows!  -  gription  2017-11-09 17:31:30 (365 views)
        
        Reframe the wall and put large but standard size windows in.   -  diehlryan  2017-11-09 18:17:43 (340 views)
        
        I keep hearing this "standard size" windows thing and get puzzled.  -  oc  2017-11-09 18:25:29 (312 views)
        
        When I say it I mean pick a size that's available off the shelf at Home Depot.  -  diehlryan  2017-11-09 15:03:19 (370 views)
        
        Have you seen the pictures of the house?  -  oc  2017-11-09 20:23:06 (367 views)
        
        Yes, but I do have a question.   -  gription  2017-11-10 09:44:22 (320 views)
        
        The large picture windows are roughly 35" wide x 70 or 71" high.   -  oc  2017-11-10 10:18:13 (341 views)
        
        Isn't he in Oregon? Why ship the windows from Minnesota? Jeld-Wen is right there.   -  irish21  2017-11-10 09:48:09 (350 views)

        Oh and I should clarify.  -  oc  2017-11-09 17:40:22 (316 views)
        
        The alternatives are basically no guarantee.  -  oc  2017-11-09 16:15:29 (343 views)
        
        Okay, I just peeked back into the other thread, gription is right, do this right.  -  RKA  2017-11-09 17:44:07 (318 views)

        There is probably someway to seal the leak.  -  oc  2017-11-09 16:19:18 (339 views)
