As we constructed the home, however, the size of the attic became apparent and the desire for better access--something that would allow everyday sort of use--became infectious among the crew.<BR/><BR/>The alcove into the attic came first and then the homemade door.It's final pyramidal top lets folks up to six-six walk through without having to duck.<BR/><BR/>As far as the laminate flooring.... We wanted wood. We had radiant heat. I felt that the laminate flooring was thin enough to take advantage of the radiant heat yet duraable enough to wear as well as a traditional oak or maple hard wood. Plus, its installation was far easier and it came prefinished. No need to wait for several coats of polyurethane to dry and cure before we could walk and work upon it.joatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415726428637484056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12322908.post-1166128322390714922006-12-14T15:32:00.000-05:002006-12-14T15:32:00.000-05:00Your attic door follows the ceiling curve in a ver...Your attic door follows the ceiling curve in a very clever manner. Who got this idea? Another guestion I have is, why go with laminated flooring in the first floor? Too bad I ran across your site this late. Net is too full of junk sites that form the rough where your sort of a diamonds can be found.Jarkkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13917714883792375917noreply@blogger.com
