   That would take the fun out of it Homewright.

   Seriously, every situation is different. You're trying to create a cookie cutter approach and that's not feasible. In order to do that, the list would be so long that no one would fill it out.

   I don't see this as any major problem. It usually only takes a couple of posts to squeeze out the pertinent facts.

   Ahh shucks blue...  I thought maybe pertinent details like the color of the underwear they're wearing that day might invoke some great information to take on nobler proportions.

   If you read enough drivel in the Tavern, you'd swear half of the posters there are in elementary school.

   The q & a that goes on when most post questions, pros and DIY folks alike, is entertaining and reminds me some times of the NPR show "Car Talk."

   Location and local building authority are the prime prerequisites to zeroing in on answers, though.  Location determines structure stuff like snow load, ground frost, seismic or hurricane considerations, etc.  What the building department is like determines whether engineering or inspection or approval is required.
