Hello,

Can you all give me your thoughts on this. I'm struggling to put this one in a classification. I have not used ASCE 7 very much at all.

The front opening is 10*10, the side opening is 5*10. Porch is 10*10, Roof line is 10*16 (on the angle). It has a full back wall, full left wall, and half 3/4 right wall.

It won't change the results for this one, but may trip you up in the future. The enclosed check appears to follow check 2a. It should be the opposite of check 2a, since the enclosed check should be less than minimum opening size.
That's probably where I got myself confused when I was building it. Ok, I'm going to post this one more time and hope this is it now. lol. Thank you for actually looking over that because like you're thinking, I'm going to try to build this into a more multiuse thing after I get this first one good. Very appreciative of your time.
