WINDOWS---10' Ceilings
Comments (22)The computer drawings were scanned at too small a size and the linework used to show materials is too thick so it all runs together when posted to the forum. I am concerned with the way masonry veneer is used at the bottom of the exterior wall and above the entrance. The masonry veneer stops higher than the window sills which creates a collection of details that I would try very hard to avoid even if I thought it looked good. The masonry over the entrance should sit on top of a masonry wall below; masonry should never sit over a wood beam. All the giant hipped roofs make me uncomfortable too. If you have read my other posts you will know that I think combining the English/Tudor front facing gable tradition with the French steep hipped roof tradition destroys the simple charm and architectural integrity of both styles. Too many traditions and styles makes a muddled design in my opinion. I suspect this idea originated with developers who were not aware of the origin or importance of these ideas and were simply trying to marry their ever popular multi-gabled front facades with a roof that reduced the amount of unused second floor space in regions that do not like to use that space for bedrooms....See MoreHuatulco Mexico - Leaving port (10 pics)
Comments (4)Jamaica has abandoned houses like that. But the people build a house as they get the money to buy more building supplies. They don't have mortage companies like we do or at least they didn't the last time we were there. Thanks so much for sharing your photos. I have really enjoyed seeing them....See MoreWindows 10 ?

Comments (22)Hangover - You're right, the questions are not funny, they are legitimate. How am I suppose to help without a little background information? Perhaps Mr Newbie has a family to put through college and his money is better spent there than on the expense of overly tall ceilings, doors, and windows. I suggest you untwist your panties and quit being so judgmental and giving builders a bad name. If you don't like the way I gather information don't try to make it my problem....See More- 10 years agolast modified: 10 years ago
