Please help-what is best option with bullnose at tub/cabinet edge
Comments (7)Thanks you guys for your input. I won't be doing anything to the cabinet. The cabinet builder had done the work and I don't want to fuss with it now:) The original building plan was for the tile to be recessed into the side, butting up to the frame. But I built out the cabinet wall more fully than the initial plan. The plumber thought I needed to do the build out to correctly get the tub's tile flange covered. The hardy backer was originally going to set on top of the flange but the plumber would like to see it over lap the flange. So that is what I did. Hence the tiling surface is now too shallow to go with the the original plan. I had thought of the skinny tiles all the way down the frame but I don't like the look when I mock it up. I liked option #1 because it was efficiant in its design and has a clean look. But I worry about maintainance. If I do #1 I was planning on caulking the gap before tiling, painting with Hydroban, tile as usual, than caulk the seam between the wood and the tile. Any more thoughts on these ideas?...See MoreBest vent insert options for 6' duct work - please help!!!
Comments (2)If you can install a remote "in-line" blower, a fan motor that sits not in the rangehood but somewhere in the duct that goes to the outside, usually at the far end of the duct, say in the attic just inside the opening to the outside, you should look at this website: Fantech.net. They have a line of in-line motors, and you might find one that will work for you. They have one that can be installed in a 6" duct, and its cfm is about 480. If you need more than that, get one that can be put into the rectangular duct you described....See MoreBest Window Covering Option(s) for Window and French Doors?
Comments (4)Bridget, thank you for the link to the Roman shades; I hadn’t thought about something like that. Patricia, I’m posting some photos below. I’m in the process of buying this house, so these are photos of the current owner’s furniture, curtains, etc. I am planning to make quite a few updates (new paint, lighting, refacing the fireplace, etc), but am concerned about getting something to cover the windows as soon as the painting is done, before I move in. The first pic is a view of the 98x30 window and front door, taken from the area by the French doors. The second shows the French doors as you walk in the front door. Third is another photo of the French doors, but the size is skewed by the camera, they aren’t that wide. I will be painting them white. Walls will be a neutral color, maybe a light greige? And while you are looking at these... I was thinking of taking the tile off the fireplace and replacing with white ledger stone to the (8’) ceiling. I thought it might look batter if the tiled part wasn’t as wide as it is now, would you agree? Do you think built-ins on both sides would look good? Thank you!...See Morehelp: which way to extend our deck? which way looks best?
Comments (1)Difficult to make judgments from info you have provided because inches count. Can you create a lower deck extension over toward firepit area. Creating multi level deck? I would get some input from local deck builders/hot tub installers fir ideas especially given your exit conditions. Here are some inspirational photos....See Morebigjimcfh
