I have a question about more "macro" home-improvement. I would like to build a so-called roof deck on my rowhome in Baltimore City. I have been looking on the Baltimore Permit site: http://www.baltimorehousing.org/index/permits.asp and a few of the documents seem to indicate that to do such an addition, I would need to get a licensed contractor to do the work. Now, I understand if there needs to be an engineer stamping and signing off on such things, but generally is it the case that you need to get a professional to do home improvement? Seems kind of funny to me, given all the do-it-yourself stuff which is flaunted so much in society. Ideally I would like to do this myself, or at least most of it. Obviously codes will be different from place to place, but if someone has some experience with a matter such as this it would be great!

I am building a deck, and I have a question about footings for it. The deck will be a few feet off the ground in the backyard of my Baltimore City rowhome. The backyard is currently an existing 4-6" pad. Can I bolt (with the proper boots) my posts to the cement pad? IRC and IBC 2006 say nothing of decks and vaguely reference the situation in the footings section.
