Hi All !!
Have a stumping question that I hope someone can please help me with??
After reading about in here for a few months, I know I have come to the right place!
As part of our 50's timber home's floorplan, we have an extention at the rear of the house that basically consists of an area 5.8m x 3.6m in size. This area is supported by approx 18 equi-spaced stumps. As these stumps are timber and the house is showing signs of lean towards the corners, we are looking at having this rear area re-stumped.
This rear 5.8m x 3.6m extention is currently used as a second living room / rumpus for our kids. As part of a larger renovation proposal, we have considered dividing this rear extention into 2 rooms: a bedroom and bathroom.
My question relates to the job of re-stumping and any affect that sub dividing might have. Particularly with the addition of a bathroom. If we were to have this area re-stumped, would anyone see any need to re-address the current stump locations?? Would it be wise to re-stump to suit the new internal wall locations, bath fixings etc etc?? Or would the basic equi-spaced stump locations be suitable??
Sorry if this post is a little long winded & nieve. I really dont want to blindly have this rear area re-stumped if it would not suit any future works.
Looking forward to your opinions .....
Cheers
