[quote=Anonymous]our almost 100 yr old home has a sleeping porch on the second floor. it has a roof and it's above the kitchen another room on the first floor so it's part of the house (although it might have been a deck originally?) on three sides had windows all around, not closing windows but those fixed windows with pieces of glass that can be made parallel to the floor to let air in or perpenricular to the floor to limit air flow (sorry i have no idea how they are called). months ago we redid the siding of the entire house and at that time, in addition to changing the siding to the porch, we also added real insulated windows. now we are in the process of finishing the room inside. we are replacing the old and ugly wood panels with drywall, adding recessed lights to the ceiling, replacing the carpet with hardwood floor and adding electricity to the room (before the room just had a ligh on the wall, but there were no plugs - we are now having 5 electrical outlets added to the walls. we are also adding a mini split unit for heathing/cooling to replace the freestanding window unit we bought last year so the electricial will also add the power for the mini split. because this is simply finishing an existing room it did not even cross my ming that we need permit for it. even for the electrical work, which will be done with everthing to code by a licensed electrician. i suddenly got concerned about permit. do we need it for  somehting like that? we had a fence installed years ago and i requested and obtained the permit by myself but in this case i have no clue what i would have to do.  I dont want to have problems down the road if we want to sell the house. TIA[/quote]
