Beam
13 foot span in the den of the basement.
Left end of beam (near stairs) supported by 6x6 column.
4 IN. Diameter Lally Column 6 ft from left end.
Right end (near cement wall) has a 3 ft long partition wall. First and last studs are double 2x6 s.
Note - There is a 7 ft span between the Lally Column and beginning of partition wall.

Chimney
The chimeny will have one flue. The interior of flue will be circular to help prevent creosote formation. It will be constructed of ceramic or other material that can withstand a chimeny fire. Flue will be able go accept up to 8 inch stove pipe. The portion of chimney that is exterior to the house will be brick covered. Chimney will extend at least TBD feet above peak of house.

Electric

Electric Heat
Electric Heat will be a backup for the wood heat. It will be designed to adequately heat the house with no wood heat. Each bedroom will have electic heat and its own thermostat. All thermostats will be able to be set to a specific degree or off (not broad settings such has hign, medium, low, and off). There will be no electic heat in the Breezeway (Sun Room).

Foundation
Footings. Footings under foundation wall. How wide and deep?
Concrete Pads. See Foundation drawing for location of Lally Column pad and chimney pad.
Perimeter Drains. One just outside the foundation to prevent water in the basement.. One just inside the foundaton to prevent radon.
Styrafoam. 1 inch styrafoam under foundation. Before the basement is finished there will be 1 inch styrafoam inside the cement wall.
Sand. Should there be sand under the styrafoam; if so, how much?
Water Entrance. Show location.
Waste Exit. Show location.

Insulation
Builder will install 1 inch styrafoam before cellar floor is poured. Builder will also install 1 inch styrafoam inside cellar wall.
Insulation installer will be hired for rest of insulation. He will be given a copy of NH code form has been filled out and approved. Summary: exterior walls R-20; ceiling of top floor R-38.
Basement. Insulate  the two "interior" bedroom ceilings and also all of their walls for sound protection with  3.5 inch fiberglass. This includes the closets. Insulate with 6 inch fiberglass the ceiling of bedroom that is below breezeway and also insulate interior walls with 3.5 inch fibergalss.DO NOT insulate ceiling in “den” where woodstove is or the shop. The ceilinsg should not be wall boarded either. This will help heat first floor.  As Sandy did at Sandwich, burlap could be used to give a semi-finished appearance to the ceiling.
Main Floor. Insulate for sound proofing the bedroom walls and the bathroom walls.

Joists
Ceiling joists of Basement are 32 feet long. They are supported at 14 ft (18 ft measured from other wall) by the I-Beam. They are engineered I-Joists. Specs TBD
Ceiling joists of Main Floor are 32 feet long. Some are supported at 14 ft (18 ft measured from other wall). These should be at least 12 inches high so 12 inch insulation will fit in them with plywood storage above in the attic. Others are supported at the mid-point. They are engineered I-Joists. Specs TBD.
Ceiling joists of Sunroom are 16 feet long. They are engineered I-Joists. Specs TBD

Plumbing
Dug well.
Pec tubing for hot and cold water. Install so that easy to drain so house can be easily shut down for the winter.
PVC for waste.
Outdoor faucet at front and back of house. They should be of "freeze prevention" design.

Rafters
The roof slope is 6 over 12. Rafters span half of the roof distance. Half width - 16 ft; height - 8 ft. Hypoteneus

Square Feet
Basement:  (32ft - 8in) x (40ft - 8 in) = 1232
Main Floor: 32 x 40 = 1280
Breezeway: 16 x 16 = 256
Room under breezeway = 256
Attic with kneewall at 4 ft = 16 x 40 = 640
TOTAL = 3664



Stairs
Attach the I-joists at the head of the stairs to a header.
Header: Double (2x10) with ½” plywood spacer
At each end, support the header with a 4x4 jack and 2 x 4 stud.
Attach the I-joists at the foot of the stairs to a header.
Header: Double (2x10) with ½” plywood spacer
At each end, support the header with a 2x4 jack and 2 x 4 stud.


Vents
3 cold-air-return vents are shown on the plans. These vents are near exterior walls. Their size is not critical. Each should have approximately 1/2 square foot area. They should be easy to remove so sound reducing material can be temporarily inserted if desired (which would of course stop air flow). A warn air vent should be located above the wood stove. This should have approximately 2 sq ft area.

In addition to the ceiling / floor cold-air-return vents mentioned above, there is also a cold air vent in the wall between the main floor bedroom and office.

Walls
ALL EXTERIOR WALLS 2 x 6 CONSTRUCTION 16 inch on center
ALL INTERIOR WALLS 2 x 4 CONSTRUCTION 16 inch on center. Exception - the bearing wall in center of basement is 2 x 6.
