We had these plans drawn up for our addition/ remodel - we were all set to start demo last week when our project manager took some measurements and realized that one of our the concrete footers for the front porch is about 7 inches away from the trunk of a veey large live oak tree. We WANT the tree to stay; thats a must. Any design ideas of how to keep a pitched gable (i really like that look) but not mess up the tree? sorry in advance -my builder terminology is sub par.
