Q: What is the average size of an A-frame house?

• <div><p>A-frame homes are on the smaller side. While there&rsquo;s no set square footage amount it has to be, it will usually come in around 1,000 square feet or smaller.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to frame with nails or screws?

• <div><p>When deciding whether to use nails or screws for framing, the specific needs of the project must be taken into account. Nails have long been the go-to option for framing due to their affordability, ease of installation, and ability to withstand shear forces. They are perfect for structural framing projects where fast assembly is essential. In contrast, screws offer exceptional holding power and are particularly useful in situations requiring increased strength and resistance to pull-out forces. For projects that prioritize accuracy and long-lasting quality, screws may be the preferred option, though nails remain a dependable and efficient choice.</p></div>

Q: Do you have to jack up a house to replace a rim joist?

• <div><p>Yes, you will need a jack for a rim joist replacement. To prevent sagging and facilitate the removal of load-bearing wood, you&rsquo;ll need to relieve the pressure from this joint before beginning work. </p><p>Due to hydraulics and other specialized equipment, a sill plate and rim joist replacement are not typically a DIY project. Hiring <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/structural-engineers/">a professional structural engineer</a> and experienced contractors is the best approach to replacing rotted sill plates and rim joists.</p></div>

Q: Can you enclose a carport?

• <div><p>You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-enclose-a-carport.htm">enclose an open carport</a>, however, there are several things to consider before opting to do so. You'll want to check local building codes and permit requirements before proceeding to make sure it&rsquo;s legal. While you can sometimes stick-frame a carport enclosure, pre-fab kits are also available. Remember that you'll likely need to meet concrete slab regulations and provide lighting inside the structure. Both of which could substantially drive up costs. </p></div>

Q: What is the cost to remove a load-bearing wall and add an entrance to a carport or patio?

• <div><p>If you remove a load-bearing wall to create an entrance to a carport or covered patio, you can expect to pay between $3,200 and $9,500, with an average cost of $6,400. Factors such as the type of addition and if that area needs additional work will add to the price.</p></div>
