The Historic District

The tiler told me that tile thresholds in showers are troublesome so I'll probably put in a one piece threshold out of marble or some other stone and match it on the threshold to the room. I have my heart set on green onyx - but there I go, dreaming again... Tile thresholds are troublesome for the ...

I hope so. It seems substantial and strong. It's quite short (58"); intended, I assume, to be positioned above a rather high curb. I can also leave a gap at the top so I don't bonk my head getting into the shower. Another good reminder from this house is that, before World War II, tile often h...

I looked at a large house that is about five blocks away from where I now live. The house was built in the early 1900's, so it is a little younger than the house I own. It was right next door to a church, and may have been the manse. The house was in better over all condition, and had exciting featu...

Well, your door sides with the tile guy, no room for argument.

My carpentry skills are pretty limited but I can completely insert myself in this new vocation. I mean, holy cow ! Look ...

...if there are no obstructions, I would place the hinges on the left, so the person has an open clearance to enter/exit the shower ? Although placing the hinges on the right would make the other fixtures in the bathroom more accessible in relation to the shower. This, in essence, is my question. W...

How wide is the shower door ? What is the distance between the shower opening and the opposite wall ? Are there any obstructions on this opposite wall - or planned obstructions (ie future radiator location, cabinet built between the studs) ? Personally, if there are no obstructions, I would place th...

And about the meeting at City Hall: It turned out to be not a regular meeting in a meeting room. This was in the City Hall Chambers. Perhaps 20 area residents showed up, and one business owner.
