[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you seen that done? Does it work? I see a lot of finished sleeping porches used as playrooms, awkward sitting rooms, or bedrooms accessible through another bedroom. But I'm  wondering how common it is to simply, "simply", split the sleeping porch in two, and remove the formerly exterior, now interior, brick wall between the finished sleeping porch and the two bedrooms it serves, to make two longer bedrooms with windows. 
Would the transition be seamless between the two segments of a room, or rather would creating a seamless transition be prohibitively expensive?
Is the structural engineer as costly for that wall demo as he'd be removing a load bearing wall on the first floor?

About $500-$800 for the structural engineer to draw up the plans for permits. Demo and and adding the support beam isn't complex, but get someone who has done it before and can follow plans. You'll need to even the slope of the floor and extend the HVAC as well to connect the two spaces seamlessly.[/quote]
