Open Floor Plan Concept Issues...
Comments (2)spans larger then 16' can easily be accomplished. Your trade off is obviously a deeper floor system or a heavier type of construction. Spans greater then 16' can easily be done with a heavier 11 7/8" i joist or a 14" i joist. You can also use a floor truss, but chances are they are will 14" range. A 14" i joist would be cheaper then a heavier 11 7/8", both of which are cheaper then a truss. You can also go with a smaller member and space them closer together (16" or 19.2"). Many options. My advice is to make the plan, and it usually can be engineered without much sacrifices....See MoreFloor quality issue, what would you do?
Comments (5)Yeah, I'm fine with the colour. I've tried to zoom in a bit, and I added some circles around some of the gaps. The installer is being kinda weird about it. He's continuing working on it. I would think if it really bothered him, he'd stop and see what the supplier says. He said that BIL/GC saw it, and has said that on a previous job, they had to rip it out. But that was a pre-finished product. There would be no filling and sanding on that. Neither one of them called me about it, which seems like they aren't too concerned. I guess that's why I'm even considering accepting it....See MoreWhich floor plan would you choose for 2nd floor?
Comments (24)I find it hard to offer up or encourage mediocre or substandard. I understand there is a lot of information and circumstances that effect a design; but when that information and circumstances is not made known, it is next to impossible to give valid advice and assumptions have to be made. I assume people are here asking questions to improve what they have to the highest degree possible, and I point out areas I see that could be improved or I offer a conceptual solution to improve what they have knowing full well there may be extenuating circumstances that lead them to what they have. I see many times people are under the impression that they can not afford the services of an architect, where in reality it is that they can not afford the one architect they talked to or are relying on hearsay. There are architects out there for just about any budget. There is most of the time a big difference between architects and house designers and the like. That is something even the people at Houzz can't figure out. Perhaps the lack of plans offered up for review here on Houzz is a result of people realizing that the best way to have the home they need and want is to sit down with an architect and get to know each other. The architect can discover their needs and wants, walk the site with them, discuss at length the dreams and possibilities of what their home can be. The owner can ask questions and see their home develop before their eyes in the form of sketches and scribbles; a personal/professional interaction that creates home. Perhaps I am being overly optimistic....See MoreDon't Buy Provenza LVP color The Natural, any one els have this issue
Comments (60)All you who have installed The Natural, does the painted bevel bother you? On the sample, I borrowed from the showroom, the painted bevel doesn't blend with the color of the flooring as well as other Provenza LVT in the Moda Line. The bevel stands out and looks like a distinct line. Im about to purchase so Im just curious if this is something you dont see once its installed on a large scale....See Morecvgarber41
