wurra, wurra, wurra......seems like there are always a lot of them! Soooo...the recycled French doors are JUST too big for the opening. Guess we're going to enlarge the opening a little and cut down the doors a little, and hit a happy medium!
Do the French doors open in our out? J. wanted out, for more room, I wanted the generous overhangs for protection from the weather (I learned my lesson with the cabin--no overhang so rot problems...). So, in.
We haven't decided on the small door yet...if we have the tiny porch overhang, will the door hit it if it opens out? If it opens in, will the doorknob break the glass in the French door?
If we have the overhang, will Joseph hit his head on it?
What kind of hinges for the windows?
What kind of trim on the sharp edges of the roof, on the outside storage? It's not an issue elsewhere, but it is there, because it's low and we'll be using that space a lot...
How will we seal the ridge? Do we want ventilation, or no leaks or wasps?
What to do about that too-high, too-small stained glass window that will look PERFECT from the inside but rather surprised from outside since it's so far off the ground?
Well, so we decide, step by step, as we go along. And meanwhile I try to get my paying work done so I can afford to make a decision like the red-cedar trim instead of the too-narrow recycled stuff... :-)
