8ft interior doors or 6' 8' standard doors?
Comments (16)you will save quite a bit of money from changing from 10' plates to 9'. framing costs lower, drywall costs lower, less siding, etc. Not to mention save money on heating and cooling. PLus this thread mentions possible design issues with it and added costs associated with it. Our current design uses 9' plates in general, but the entry and dining bump up to 10' plates. we are using an 8' full glass front door. the living space is 9' plates with a 10' tray ceiling built into the trusses. kitchen is also 9' and we are using 42" high cabinets. in the kitchen consider indirect uplighting/cove lighting as a main source of light. Ironically most people load kitchens with cans. Cans are one of the worst lighting sources for a kitchen since it cast shadows on the work surface since you are blocking the light. Undercabinet lighting set to the front edge of the upper and indirect uploading will provide overall better lighting of the space. not having soffits will allow lighting above your cabinets....See MoreFront door less than 8ft tall ok if flanking closets are 8ft?
Comments (26)I would say that the transom could be the same material with the same pattern, it could be the same shape with a single lite (which would be transitional really but that's ok) or it could be rectangular with upright rectangular divided lites. The mirror idea, to me anyway, is only effective if you are doing it where you actually Couldn't or Wouldn't Want to have real windows. I think the important thing to maintain with the number of openings that are adjacent here (5?), and the number of doors to be used here (5-6?) is some sort of consistency or logic behind the choices. I think if you don't have a leaded surround right at the front, you probably should not do it on the inner doors because it adds another material. Likewise the solid doors should have some kind of pattern relationship with the other solid doors, and the doors with glazing should have some kind of pattern relationship with the other glazed doors...and ideally they should have a relationship with each other as well....See MoreFront door- Therma Tru Fiber Classic mahogany collection vs painted
Comments (1)"Also, compared to Masonite brand doors. Masonite’s wood Grain line at Lowes is MUCH less expensive. Why? Is it inferior? " Therma Tru is a middle of the road to decent quality door. Fiber Classic is a better door from TT than the Smooth Star quality wise. Masonite brand anything is a builder grade at best (especially from a box store in my opinion)....See MoreSeeking The Neighbor Perspective: 8 ft Fence vs. 6 ft
Comments (65)Sometimes resurrected threads are helpful. We have a house that family is in that we will move back to. I've considered an 8 ft fence for screening an ugly property. The lot behind has 4 acres and it is a bit of a family compound. Rather nice but they use the part of their yard that butts ours as somewhat of a trash bin. They have been there for a long time and the previous owners of our house deforested the backyard - so I don't blame them. We currently have a 4 ft chain link - which is to say nothing visual blocking. The town probably would allow 6+2 and HOA probably would allow since this backyard property is not in the HOA and it would not be visible from the street and barely visible by the one neighbor. One solution to fence height rules is decorative walls that are not continuous - "not a fence". For now I have planted a lot but there is tall trees on the 4 acre property which block a lot of sun so the screenings planted may not be enough in our 4-5 year time line. It is the worst right now as the weather is nice but the trees aren't leaved out yet. We are planning on adding windows and probable extension back there with lots of windows so it wll matter more than current situation. On our current house, we have a section of 8 ft that was done for security. It is the one entry point to backyard that wasn't visible to neighbors (and wasn't through a neighbors yard). Of course a criminal could climb it but it certainly would slow them down. The gate has a deadbolt So sometimes height can be helpful - or at least can feel like it is helpful.......See MoreRelated Professionals
