Q: Do I have to use wood to frame a house?

• <div><p>One of the most common <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/bare-bones-guide-framing-house.htm">house framing basics</a> for decades has been using wood for the framing work. However, some framing contractors now suggest using steel frames. Steel is lightweight, resistant to fire, and resistant to moisture, all of which are areas where wood framing could cause problems. However, steel framing is more expensive than wood and limits your ability to insulate the home.</p></div>

Q: Can a bungalow have a second floor?

• <div><p>Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.</p></div>

Q: Do bow windows need support?

• <div><p>Bow windows need support because they are large and extend out from the exterior wall of the home. Bow windows may extend 1 foot to several feet from the outside of the home, so you&rsquo;ll need to provide additional support to handle this weight. A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.</p></div>

Q: What can I use to enclose a carport?

• <div><p>There are both temporary and permanent ways to enclose a carport. If you&rsquo;re looking to enclose your carport for the winter, a canvas enclosure could do the trick. It won&rsquo;t be as protective as a permanent structure, but it can offer some protection from elements like snow, rain, and wind. For a permanent enclosure, you can add extra walls, add a new vertical roof, or a lean-to addition on one side of the structure. </p></div>

Q: Are ceiling joists load-bearing?

• <div><p>Yes, ceiling joists are typically load-bearing. However, their primary function is to support the weight of the ceiling and loads applied to it, like lighting fixtures and ceiling fans. They can also help support the roof, especially if they&rsquo;re part of truss systems. Remember, the load-bearing capacity of ceiling joists depends on the material, size, and space between them. </p></div>

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.
