Hi Margaret,
There aren't currently any drawings, no, and the chances of that setting me back another week are up there.Would it be
possible to note that we'll replicate the existing rafters in the photo I supplied (with the exception that they won't be
rotted and sagging!)?
Let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks,
Polly

Margaret,
After a couple of-go-rounds, we figured out a way to make open rafter's on the front work.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Polly

Polly,
I'm not sure I follow your explanation about the rafters. Do you mean you can have
exposed rafters extending to the north and south, but not to the west?

Hi Margaret,
I'm attaching cut sheets for the windows and doors, and the rest. A few notes:
—The door will be wood-clad, not aluminum as per the cut sheet.
—The window glass will be replaced within existing panes to preserve a more authentic
look.The specs fall well within the ARB's requirements.
—The attic vent will be preserved, as per the current photos of the building —that was
just a designer overlook, and it needs to be there.
— One wrinkle: My contractor has concerns about leaving exposed rafters facing the
road as this eliminates the possibility of guttering and given the building's really close
proximity to the road could create a potential hydroplaning hazard on 29 in hard rains.
We will leave rafters exposed under the proposed porch, similar to the existing canopy
which vents to the sides, and they would be rustic in nature and locally milled.
— We see no problem with weaving the corners of the building in Hardi.
Let me know if I've raised more questions than I've answered.
Thanks so much,
Polly
