Hi,
I'm building room onto the back of our house for my wife. I have framed up the walls for an eight foot ceiling. She asked me if I could give her a nine foot ceiling. So, can I safely add a one foot stud wall to the top of my existing wall safely? The room is 34 feet by 12 feet and I taking the roof back to the existing ridge and installing a metal roof. I will of course remove the shingles from the existing roof to reduce weight.
Thanks,
Pat
