That's going to be a really cool spot to view everything! Couldn't be done my foot -- they didn't know how to do it I guess. You could leave the hoist positioned to lift you and Wendy up there one day when the library ladder becomes tricky. HA!

Your alteration of the roof trusses and build of the special dormer makes a great video. Thanks for sharing it with all of us who love your videos.

By looking at your roof system and haven done a loft like you want , we have done that on several homes out over the pourch. as wide as the doormer. now the opening inside can be wahat you wanted sence your dormer is off set. basicaly like your doing.. a full floor system the width of the dormer with with side wall . use lvl's to support the deed ends of the truss. you might have to build stiff backs to sit on the exterior floor/wall . I personal would do the intire dormer area.

Thanks Chris, roof/floor system is all 16" oc...which I received lots of flack foe as "Unnecessary" due to "engineering"...well I disagreed...this should have been in the in the initial plans but...it wasn't...UFP Truss designers were great...couldn't go the entire width for 2 reasons...design to our hurricane code (based on that it was added after- the-fact) and I want access to the "3rd level" and that's how I get there...

Nice work, Scott. My friend had a similar dormer on his garage, 3 windows in it by 10 feet long or so and he could not see the reason for doing what you just did. Daylight was all I kept saying to him; regardless, he did not make the changes and had them frame it regular and there is just a tiny scuttle hole in the attic to get to those windows now. I could not figure out why he wanted to spend $5,000 or more for windows that are just there for show but to each his own I guess.

If I framed it with conventional framing it wouldn't have been an issue...because it had to be trusses (because I am building it myself)...this was the only option...

My suggestion is that you try fit in a spiral staircase to that upper level - I think you will be spending more time up there you you think right now.

Had one in our last home (every potential buyer hated it)... wouldn't work here (even though I love them...) because it's a double door and access to the Dormer needs to be over the fixed door but that door still needs to be able to open....so Library ladder is the only option 🤔
