Normal
I'll have 3 walls to put up, likely putting in a mini-split for heat/air. If I frame it myself I figure I'll have a 2' - 3' knee wall with windows going the rest of the way up to 8'. Maybe 3-4" between windows, don't know yet.Hadn't considered the 2x6 route, mainly due to the amount of glass we'll have but I can look into it as it will be insulated. I've got one outlet on the patio now but expect to run wire for a new circuit, I have room in the box for a breaker. We've already got a french 6' patio door that swings open on one side to use for getting into the sunroom, could maybe replace that with a french door that has both of them opening. Not so sure I want that open all the time.City does require a permit but I've done a good bit of changes to the house over the years, adding electric and some plumbing without getting any permits, so not sure on the path this time. I've always been told if I sell it, those un-permitted additions wouldn't help with an appraisal/value of the house and could be an issue during a home inspection. As far as inspection, just pull the breaker out of the box and say it isn't in use.I don't know, but our plan is not to sell, which is why we're adding a sunroom.I figure we'll go with a metal roof but I have no idea how to tie it into the current roof or if I need to do anything with the existing soffit. Most likely, I'll go with a roofer/builder for this part of it.
