Doing this will make your house more stuffy and mold will appear on the pieces of wood. This will cause your wood to rot faster

Hi there Gearadrift, 

The shed and gable dormer framing options are actually in the booklet (on page 11) just under the Rafter Framing detail. 

Best to ya and wishing you all the best on the new project!

Plans Support / Dormer plans for 1.5 20x30
Last post by Gearadrift - March 15, 2024, 03:32:10 PM
Hello, I recently purchased plans for the 1.5 story 20x30 and would like add a shed dormer. I did a search of the forums and read an older post by John Raabe that said he had a plan that included shed and gable dormers for the 20x30. The link on the post took me to the country plans page where I ordered my plans set. I didn't see the dormer options, is that something that is available?
I spoke with my builder and he would like to have the dormer included in the plans.
Thank you in advance, plan kit received is great I've been looking it over and getting excited to break ground.

Version 3.5.5 - 03.11.2024
- Added a "Custom Glass" garage door type/option with fully customizable glass panels.

I will need to create a tutorial video explaining the proper syntax for the "Glass List".
