    Finishing a second floor
    I want to finish my second floor in a fairly new home.
    Lets start slow and see how it goes.

    The room ~700 square feet is now vented to the outside through a vent on the
    Side of the house and a hole cut in the plywood sheeting leading to a dormer with an octagonal vent. Make sense?

    So how do I properly vent this space? Eventually I want it to be a bedroom with a bath and small office area? I have a heating/cooling device in the room but no
    Duct work is run to this area.

    The space is supposed to be ready for plumbing. I see hot and cold water and a large vent pipe that goes out the ceiling.

    Anyone willing to give me a hand with this?

    Thanks much,
    Kent

    This sounds like an A-frame building. If your making the 'loft' into living space, you don't need the octagonal vent.

    I would connect the future bathroom vent to the large vent pipe that goes out the ceiling.

    Try insulating the hot water pipe and presto- done!
