Attic Conversion

[Brandon V.]

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking at buying a Single Family House and converting the attic into another bedroom and have a couple questions:

1.  The attic has two exits, the stair leading to it and window right next to the stairs.  The window is 24" by 48".  Would this be acceptable to code?  

2.  As it is an attic, I'm not sure if it could support a bull bedroom?  Who would I need to contact do make sure that the support would be sufficient enough to hold everything.  Does anyone have a contact for Milwaukee, WI?

3.  The attic slopes down fairly quickly but in the middle has an 8 foot clearance.  Would this be an issue at all? 

Thanks!

Brandon
