As part of our 50's timber home's floorplan, we have an extention at the rear of the house that basically consists of an area 5.8m x 3.6m in size. This area is supported by approx 18 equi-spaced stumps. As these stumps are timber and the house is showing signs of lean towards the corners, we are looking at having this rear area re-stumped. The front half of the house was re-stumped (concrete) before we purchased. This rear 5.8m x 3.6m extention is currently used as a second living room / rumpus for our kids. As part of a larger renovation proposal, we have considered dividing this rear extention into 2 rooms: possibly a bedroom and bathroom. My question relates to the job of re-stumping and any affect that sub dividing might have. Particularly with the addition of a bathroom. If we were to have this area re-stumped, would anyone see any need to re-address the current stump locations?? Would it be wise to re-stump to suit the new internal wall locations, possible bath fixings etc etc?? Or would the basic equi-spaced stump locations be suitable?? Sorry if this post is a little long winded & nieve. I really dont want to blindly have this rear area re-stumped if it would not suit any future works. Looking forward to your opinions .....
