Browse Forums Building Standards; Getting It Right! 1 Oct 20, 2010 2:56 pm Hi, my first post. I am building in Bonner, ACT, early next year. Currently trying to come up with a design for a tricky corner block. I am trying to cut down on costs by doing some amateur drafting before getting a professional engaged. But I struggle with rooflines! The below link is to an image of the house and roofline (the house shaped like it is to match the corner and have a north aspect). My questions are about points 1 and 2 shown on the image. For Point 1 the valley would be intersecting an already intersected 135 deg 'turn' in the roof...if that makes sense...is that okay? Would the intersections at point 2 be okay? or be a 'birds nest' of framing and difficult to build? Any advice appreciate. Also, any building in the ACT at the moment, welcome your views on builders... thanks http://www25.brinkster.com/supersquib/roofquestions.jpg Re: help with rooflines 2Oct 21, 2010 5:00 pm cant access the site, says I need to be a member via a member or summin Re: help with rooflines 3Oct 21, 2010 6:14 pm Hi, This is the firsttime I have tried to share a file like this, so here goes. http://i1208.photobucket.com/albums/cc3 ... ofHelp.jpg This is what your roof should look like at those 2 points I have ignored porch and intrusions into eave space. But should give you the idea. If you cannot see the file let me know. I dont think it is an overly comlicated roof line although I am not a roofie. Good luck with your plans. Nathan Hi there, long-time lurker but first time posting. I've bought a house 2 and a bit years ago and last year we had some major water damage on a converted pergola area… 0 7931 Yes, unless you are in a low intensity rainfall area or the area is protected from rain. Do you have access to NCC Part 2 or can you download it? I can email you a copy… 10 12512 Thankyou so much 😀 I've decided on White on white for doors and trims, White on white 50% on ceiling and Mt buller for walls. Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 7158 |
