My roof for the house is on a 6/12 pitch. My porch goes out 6.5 ft from the house and 9'8" high. Of ccourse my ceilings in my house are 9'6". My question is this.
1. Can I join the new rafters from the porch to the house rafters half way up the roof going from a 6/12 to a 3/12 pitch?
2. A roofer came out a told me to make a strong back and cut a board on a 6/12 pitch and come out a a frame the addition. the problem is this would kill my budget, which is almost gone now...
If the first option will work that would be really cool, but I know this is not the preferred way of doing it. I have seen several houses in and around this small Alabama town with roofs that start out a 6/12 and somewhere down the roof the pitch changes and extends out to catch the porch.
I know we made a mistake in take the colloms to high, but there has to be someway this is fixable without paying someone to fix it.
Broke and need up!
Thanks
I can up pictures of what I have done if that will help...
