Re: Attic Access - a new twist (you know you want to look)
They probably would have to sister every joist to make it habitable except for maybe head clearance height issues and then adding dormers to address some of that.rktect 1 said:I have actually done work in two seperate homes which had this exact same condition. Except that the attic was a finished space. Homes were built probably 60 plus years prior to the new work. With todays code, they could not build habitable space int eh attic. Of course our oridinance would prohibit that as well if it were a two story home.
