Turned A Negitive Into A Positive...


The plans called for the wall to be extended 5 feet out.When we opened up the wall we found plumbing drains from the upstairs master bathroom coming down the wall and through the concrete slab.It would have cost the home owner quite a bit extra to re rout the plumbing.
I suggested that we leave the part of the wall that had the plumbing intact and open up the rest.Then we added an arch to match the other arches we where adding through out the house.The home owners where very happy with the results.
Sorry for the big pic.

Nice job...Nice house too. Where is it? Did you install the exterior door and center it in the archway, or did it just work out that way?

Nice work Jack! This is why I like remodeling, you take something and make it better while having to work around the obsticles. And situations like that are what seperates the professionals from the hacks.

Who is the manufacturer? I haven't seen operable side lites on any doors made since the early 60's.
It's a nice option since we've got that new fangled insulated glass nowadays

Milgard makes an operable side lite. But the one I installed I wouldn't call a "very nice" door
