Then i closed the opener, the chain went down and hooked it self to the door. The door stayed shut... Than i tried again open/close with the opener, Back the problem. Thanks, Seanny Ray...See MoreHelp with railing/newel post(s) on open treads please
Comments (25)mairin - I guess there's a chance they'd mess up the finished floor if they did that now? Anyway, I wanted the newel just 1 step up, same as it would be if we had a bullnose step and volute/turnout, they could still notch it out to snug up to 2nd tread. But 1st guy didn't want to do that, wanted permnission in writing from building inspector (and now 9 months later I'm even more reluctant to go asking), 2nd guy never got back to me after coming out for a quote and nodding his head yes the whole time, and my cousin who has been doing all the trim in my house (and building new window jambs and stools where the builder didn't do them right) says that he doesn't want to do it, even if we put blocking under the first tread. I guess when they're on the floor they actually are attached to a joist? I showed him pics of crazyhouse6's newel and he didn't think it would hold up to lateral forces (swinging), though it was fine for someone just pulling straight on it. So what do you think of my newel options? Which should I choose? It will be 2 weeks to get the oak contemporary newel that I posted first. The 2.5 x 3.5 blocks of cherry are here, just need to get cousin to cut and route them, I can put clear finish on and get them up but I don't know how they look with oak rail. My favorite is still the vertical volute with a newel somewhere near the bottom, but I haven't even thought of balusters (BC newel and rail with oak balusters?), and I need to find someone to install it....See MoreWorked out how to post pictures in an opening post!
Comments (7)I just tried it too - on the Name that Plant forum - didn't work' and I waited several minutes, not seconds. I then tried uploading the photo in a comment to my own post - didn't work either. How can a Name that Plant forum function without photos? Edited to say I just tried Lars' method of first posting the photo. The site wouldn't let me post just a photo and demanded I write a subject. I did, and added a text in the post itself next to the photo. It worked!!...See MorePost from Nicole...she can't post for some reason
Comments (25)I like the house. I would not be drawn to it at this age. For one thing, I don't like wind...we get plenty of that already being coastal and ours is rarely a warm wind, I like a little more landing space and storage around my bathroom sinks too. Do I dare mention I know I would not do well with that much open shelving in my kitchen? I would try to stay neat - and matched - but it would be an ongoing battle. Back to the age thing - I don't need battles. Nicole, do you know how hard it is to find clear cedar of any quality these days?!!!!! If by chance some can be located, the price is exorbitant! I may roof this year. I've yet to see any cedar roofing shakes worth their price and this is timber country.......See More- 6 years agolast modified: 6 years ago
