The ridge on the expansions on the east & west side of the old roof are <br /> higher than the old roof and both have a 4:12 pitch while the original roof is <br /> flatter and has a 3:12 pitch. We may do a 5:12 pitch on the new roof <br /> which would be a better and safer solution for ice dams over this <br /> problematic area. The new roof structure including eaves and gable <br /> overhang is 1500 sq. ft. <br /> When we did the new additions in 1996 & 1997, we replaced all windows <br /> with high efficiency windows, new exterior walls in the new structure were <br /> 2x6 construction and ceilings were heavily insulated to meet the energy <br /> envelope requirement for the entire structure. The City of Orono approved <br /> the energy envelope calculations at that time. <br /> The proposed work is to correct the above described problem only and no <br /> work will be done to the inside of the house nor will it change set-backs, <br /> hardcover, or any other code issues. A few plumbing stacks and the <br /> chimney will need to be raised. <br /> I would appreciate knowing from you specifically what I would need to <br /> submit to you to obtain a building permit for this work. I worked with you <br /> personally when we did the projects in the mid 90's. I have talked recently <br /> with Dan Altendorf (who was also involved in 1996/97) at Scherer Brothers <br /> Lumber and Scherer proposes to do the new structure through the use of <br /> new scissors trusses. We would remove the existing eaves & overhangs at <br /> the old area and install the new trusses. <br /> I would suggest that I provide you with our site plan, a roof plan lay-out, <br /> truss calculations, exterior elevations, and a general description of the work <br /> and specifications for the proposed products. The work would be <br /> performed by the same general contractor that did the additions in <br /> 1996/1997. i would lik to do the work this summer. <br /> Thanks for your help. I would appreciate talking with you after you have <br /> reviewed this letter. I will give you a call in the next ten days or can be <br /> reached on my cell at 239-591-1381 or by email at tmmccune@me.com . <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Tom McCune <br />
