Help with window height with 9ft ceilings
Comments (14)Builders frequently tell owners that something on the architectural drawings should be done differently. When the builder wants to be subtle about it, he simple asks the owner, "would you just confirm that this is what you want to do?"

I agree to lower the ceing to do all 10' ones and in the kitchen take the cabinets to the ceiling and save on heating and cooling If you want the higher ceilinng then the work around is live with the difference....See MoreKitchenin2013
