Ceiling fan, new

A ceiling fan really adds to a large room. It's functional, comforting, spatially balancing, pleasing to look at... This one is a 52" Hunter purchased at clearance from Home Depot. It installs exactly as described with parts and components feeling like it's top quality. Spin balancing with the included counterweights takes a good eye. Total cost including junction box, extension rod and wall switch came to $122. At room addition.

SOSS hinges

These SOSS hinges are for doors at least 3/4" thick.
They cost about $23/pair.
They're relatively easy to install if you know how to expertly control your router with jigs and guides. The one variation here differing from what the guidelines suggest is the edge clearance. Recommended is 1/8" so the door can swing 180-degree when fully open. I didn't need that much swing and had a door skin layer that's almost 1/8" thick, so the mortise was given as much as 5/32" margin from the edge, barely biting into solid (soft)wood. It barely clears when swung out at 90.

Hidden flush door

Measuring 18 inches wide and 80 inches tall, the door slab is made from one 36" wide sheet of door skin stapled to a 2x2 fir frame with 1.5-inch polyisocyanurate rigid insulation filling the voids. Hinges are SOSS type. Latch is magnetic. Jambs are 2x4 solid redwood (at hinge side, for thickness and straightness) and 1x4 pine with a lip all around for the drywall seam tape and mud.

Tankless water heater closet at room addition.

Double latching door

Here's another unique design between the Entry hall, Bedroom 4 and Powder room. The larger doors are 36 inches wide. It's for various potential uses of the rooms, offering flexibility and some fun. Click on the thumbnail planview to see the before/after layout.

Full-open bifolds

Left pair is standard. Right pair is full-access. It's modified from standard and installed with Johnson's 1601 full-access hardware. The 2-door hardware set cost $27.59 plus shipping. The special geometry comes from a unique control arm that replaces the upper track. Stainless steel pull bars are from IKEA. Bedroom 4.
