[QUOTE="Wheel Gun, post: 2593912, member: 19286"] I did this in Edmond many years ago, but not from scratch. We were building a home with one of the big home builders. At the framing stage, I realized that the huge attic space over the garage would make a great play room. So, I stopped the builder and made him re-frame for it (for future completion). He beefed up the floor joists, put in an entry door and built in a window for that required extra emergency exit. Several years later, I finished it out myself and only had to reroute a few wires and a dryer vent. We enjoyed the room, but it would have been pretty difficult to do that, had I not had the bones built during construction. And, the poster above is right, just before selling the house, I asked the county tax guys to come out and re-measure the square footage. For the sale, I wanted credit for the larger footage. The guys that came out only gave me a fraction of the footage that I added. They said that they have some formula that they have to use for attic additions. [/QUOTE]
