Re: Any advice for adding on to a house?

Has anyone done anything similar and have any words of advice?
I know that sometimes things go wrong, and you think, "If I had only been warned, I could have avoided that problem." Any helpful words would be appreciated...
It doesn't sound like you need Bob what's his face, Emily.
As long as the roof over the screened in porch is a good serviceable roof then why not just take out the screening and build walls in its place? You can then snake wires from the house, [basement] to add a few plugs/lights and drywall, panel, wood panel it.
Adding a new porch might be the greater problem as you could be running out of roof height. It's hard to tell without seeing it?
