Thanks Gentlemen. Can you tell I'm new at this?
The diminished haunch definitely makes much more sense. I'll re-plan with those in mind. The attic conversion isn't really an issue due to the attic height. If it could have been converted without popping the top, I would have done it.
I really appreciate the responses. I'm really looking forward to this project and want to make sure I'm on the right track.
