Desperately seeking advice with new entry door style
Comments (6)Thank you! We are looking more towards a double door- we DO have to get this done soon as we put in for a grant up here for people to get their homes rated higher- ours was only a 2+ rating & the state will pay a certain % back if we upgrade AND get it up at least one star rating. My hubby has been a stink at putting things off- we already paid $350 for the rating inspection & at that time we had 18 mos to get it completed & get refunded UP to 10k (depending on what we can upgrade to raise the rating- nothing higher than we have paid of course) Well NOW, it's been about 13 mos.. & he has now left it up to ME to figure out WHAT to do :( I'm SO flustered by it (& him LOL) but I know we'll never get the chance to get in on this again... the whole entry is terrible *cold* and drafty. We think by replacing that (those big huge windows by the door mostly!) and adding more insulation UNDER the house- this should up the rating quite a bit. They were definitely on the inspection list. Because we are so low on lighting up here- we'd really like some sort of window above as that actually helps light the upper level as well. We are able to order just about anything we find on the net because we have it shipped to a shipping barge in Seattle and they bring it right to us :) I don't want anything fancy & that seems to be a lot of my problem as most of what I see ARE real fancy or solid wood etc. Thank you so much for your thoughts on this!!! ANY help/suggestions are MUCH appreciated :)...See MoreDesperately seeking layout advice!
Comments (7)Designov...I was going to email you directly to offer help with your layout picture, but you don't have the email option turned on in your profile, which also means you're not receiving emails of follow-up postings, even though you checked the box requesting them See the "Read Me" thread for more information. Scroll down to the post with the subject "Getting Emails Sent To You...3-step Process". Here is a link that might be useful: New To Kitchens? Posting Pics?

Comments (23)Hi Nik-- Mutabilis thrives in Austin, TX, which may be a little closer to your climate than PacNW. We're definitely not cool and moist--rather, hot, droughty, and med-hi humidity. My hedge of 5 Mutabilis is currently blooming its tail off. We're Zone 8b, also, if that helps. It rarely has any disease issues--we've never sprayed, and it's very free-blooming for us. We do have it on twice-weekly water, though. The only drawbacks to this rose for us are (1) it gets huge, and (2) sometimes its limbs get long and heavy and flop over in a graceless way, leaving empty spots in the middle of the shrub. My husband disciplined ours alarmingly vigorously last year with the pruning shears (cut them back about 1/3 and knocked any of those lanky limbs back to stubs or removed altogether), though, and they're now looking much tidier. I really love ours--they have this riotous, hippie/flower child vibe that I find very endearing....See Moreseeking advice on custom windows in Metro DC
Comments (4)Thanks millworkman I would use the 200 series but the issue is the custom size. So basically we have 2 double hung windows in a shared encasement where the rough opening in the brick is 94” wide x 42” high. This is a 35 year old addition that we are installing new windows in. We had to rip out wood paneling and install insulation (it was foam board). Basically like a new build. Are there any options besides Andersen 400 series that we should be considering? I figured it was was worth asking before we drop a bundle on the Andersen. 😊thanks!...See Moremillworkman
