Wish the following code changes would be in effect in TV, front entry doors open outward instead of inward and install fire rated doors between the garage & interior of the house and make a fire wall in the attic above the garage and main house

1. The hinges would be exposed threaten security 2. The wind could catch the door when opening 3. How would you install a screen door 4. You need to step backwards when entering with a handful of groceries |

We have solid wood doors between the garage and the interior of our home. One door leads to the foyer and one door leads to the laundry room. Isn't a solid wood door considered a fire rated door?

Its easier to kick in the typical villages front door than remove hinges--the doors in S.Florida must swing out/ for wind protection
There are security hinges with set screws that make it difficult to remove the pins |

Help me with why outward is advantageous. I promise to be open minded. Have you ever had a door blow off it's frame when closed ? Can one imagine what kind of damage the rest of the house must get (example roof ) with that kind of force. Another cynical thought is it would be easier for a bad person to come to your door and rip it out of your hands exposing you rather than you having some protection of sheltering yourself behind the door when you first open it.

You should never open a door to a stranger that you don't recognize--

Re: Home quality and construction.....how are your windows this AM if you live in Mallory? (especially on the "older" side)

Is there an older side of Mallory ? I know Mallory was like half built when the tornado hit. Is that what is newer Vs older side ? If so did construction change at that point ? If so was it due to first hand experience with the tornado?

[QUOTE=Toymeister;1702518]Say OP besides all the fascination with water control devices, did you find your answer here yet?
I give up - no one seems to buy anything that is not top notch. Opinions are like you know what - but opinions can be changed. |

I actually think Renters are nicer than some permanent residents because they don't discriminate...

at least the ones that came with our house. As far as the carpet - yes it is builder grade, but it still looks great in both our rentals after 8 and 5 years - and we just clean it every other year..

Sorry, They are standard in Wisconsin. I have done a lot of toilet work over the years and I prefer these to the steel ones that leak. I even had to change the actual valve out (long story, my fault), and I replaced it with a plastic push/pull valve. My home in Wisconsin is 13 years old and was built with them and never an issue. So I think you should check your facts.
