Help! Basic white 2 inch hex for floors?
Comments (7)Hi Kay, I prowled through my bookmarks and found a site that appears to sell 2 inch white hex in both a gloss and matte glaze. I don't know anything about the company. I'm planning to use unglazed 2 inch hex and assumed I'd order them from Bungalow Tile, but it looks like it's been subsumed into Subway Ceramics and no longer accepts direct orders. ARGH! I don't know how to post a link so forgive the cumbersome address. It is: angelfire(dot)com(forward slash)az(forward slash)tile(forward slash)mosaics(foward slash)hexagon. Good luck....See MoreTransition Isues w/2 different wood flooring types
Comments (2)It all depends if you plan to sell the house in the future. It's always recommended to install one type of wood flooring which immediately raises the value of your home. But it's very common to have two different types of floors upstairs and downstairs as long as both types have the same grain characteristics. Doing so will make it easy for a new buyer to stain one floor to match the other if they desire. If thatÂs appealing to you, I would recommend installing Red Oak. Unlike Maple which has smooth and clean grain, Red oak has the same open grain characteristics as Brazilian Cherry and could be stained to match if someone wanted the whole house in one color. If the stairs are visible from the first floor, install Brazilian Cherry treads and risers or stain your existing ones in cherry color. You may also paint the risers in white, which really brings out the tone of the cherry on the treads. Hope that helpsÂ...See MoreWhat do you wish you had done differently? [Part 2]
Comments (25)hmmm, let's see - so far I would change: - the hybrid radiant/induction cooktop to full induction. There really is a difference. I'm afraid I'm going to weare out the induction part since I try so hard to use them over the radiant ones. - the kitchen layout. It wasn't until AFTER the granite was in, did I realize that it would not have been that difficult. - kept the sink order with Galaxy to get the sink I wanted. I was done to the midnight hour and would have had to pay an extra $90 for overnight shipping. I used the sink that my fabricator found - builder grade. It's OK, but it scratches a lot. It replaced a then top-of-the-line Elkay that didn't scratch nearly uas much. I like what I have, but think the extra $$ would have been worth it. - planned!! I didn't plan on doing this - just replace one appliance. That turned into having to add this, that or the other as I moved along the way. - different faucet. I have Kohler (don't remember model), and don't like it at all. It's too expensive to just switch out, but if I can find a taker, I'll make the change. All-in-all, I'm very happy/satisfied. I ended up with some very good new toys, but I just know if I had planned, I would have done some things very differently....See MoreSuggestions Needed- 1.2 inches in Floor Clearance
Comments (12)Mightyanvil, I'm certainly not encouraging bad design principles, corner cutting or anything else. My house is approx 1600 square feet, two floors. There are only two cold air returns, one, outside the bedrooms a 2' grille but the actual return within the wall/floor is only one stud's width, widening out slightly to whatever the floor joist spacing is. The second return is only ten feet away and is slightly larger, but in line of sight to the first. There are NO returns in any of the bedrooms, and none downstairs. If you think I'm condoning or advocating this shoddy work, you're mistaken. Many of the houses sold around here (Kamloops, BC) are spec houses, so the builders do the very bare minimum they think they can get away with, and the average home buyer does not notice. The clearance on my doors is probably not much more than an inch and a bit, it still looks high to me but that is what constitutes the cold air return. I certainly wish it were different, and I plan to rectify what I can, I may tap into the cold air return where it runs under the closet floor but your mention of using the closet has given me an idea of how to do it. The other two bedrooms I can't do much about unless I were to put a grille over the doors and through the wall, maybe offset so the sound's not so bad and you can't see directly through -going through the ceiling sounds like a lot of work not to mention the need for insulation, but a possibility I suppose, although I doubt my wife will like it. MY master bedroom can tap in in several ways, as I said, the second br and study I can do cheats through the wall to the hall which I imagine would help.... But don't get me wrong. This shoddiness is anathema to me, but apparently leaving CARS out of bedrooms was at one stage (if not still now) permitted. Older houses here tend to have proper returns. Having said all that, my house has been pretty comfortable since we moved in last May, I did find running the furnace blower 100% of the time improved things....See Moredecoenthusiaste
