Not sure about separation of rafters, get an engineer to inspect, probably not a big deal since house built 30 years ago with no problems with it.

I have built a couple that I use, but I'm looking to see if anyone has any robust ones that they use and feel comfortable that they capture many of the factors needed when conducting such analysis.

I learned about the property via a tax sale investor who had it on his radar screen and wanted to engineer a plan to buy as a pre-probate.Odds are you'll hear from someone in time.

It usually takes a permit, a permit usually requires plans, plans usually require an architect or engineer.

So far my engineering quote is $12,500.00 start to finish.I am awaiting my Architects quote.

After calling the city again, a crew comes out who has to call a supervisor, who has to call another supervisor, who finally agree it is the city's responsibility since it's under the city sidewalk & if I do it, it can be a long, expensive process since I will have to get numerous permits including engineering and BUT, city clean out is on the wrong side and finally send out a crew to replace about 6 ft sewer line and move the clean out closer to the house.

Often a lender only finances hard costs.What you might be looking at is a street with cul-de-sacs off a main street, but whatever you need to talk to a developer/engineer as to an initial design, layout.

My name is Joe Wittlin, and I'm a 28 yr old Architectural Engineer here in Appleton, WI.

I have an engineering background, so I tend to set processes in place and of course would love to automate this process down the road.Again, it's a pleasure to join this site and I look forward to many years down the road networking, obtaining and exceeding our goals and giving back to our communities.Take care,Kyle
