Kenny Logins posted:pocket doors are a good move if you want your “””doorway””” to gradually become an arch nobody bothers with anymore if you’re living in less than 1000 sq ft the area that normal swinging doors make unusable adds up fast. pocket and other sliding doors are probably good for claiming back ~100 sqft in a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment with a few closets. not to mention the wall space where you might be able to add a bookshelf or something that the open door won’t block it.

Yeah, this is the first place I've ever lived (aside from living with my parents as a kid) where I've not just blocked all interior doors open (aside from the bog and bathroom and the wind closet*) with this or that piece of furniture. It's 99 square metres so it's pretty big for an apartment in Finland. A previous tenant did remove the door from the vestibule to the kitchen for some reason (I found it in the attic). *) And interior front door, which is technically an interior door. But I don't have one now because the house is old. Anyway.

I just remembered my first apartment (one room, vestibule, bathroom cum bog) and because my bed blocked the door between the vestibule and the... room room, I was pleasantly surprised when I moved out and found I had stashed a vacuum cleaner behind the door at some point when moving in (it was probably my mum's). So now I have two vacuum cleaners.

yeah in a 2500 sqft 4 bedroom suburban house it won’t make much of a difference. my place used to have a hallway that was just empty space to let 3 doors (closet, bedroom, bathroom) swing open. that got walled on one side and replaced with 1 sliding barn style door and suddenly my closet goes from 50 to 100 sqft by pulling this hallway space inside it. it’s nice to be able to close spaces off, but a solid core sliding/pocket door is a lot more space efficient if you can do it.

Truman Peyote posted:I really hate the way barn doors look. it's like steampunk for people who describe themselves as "a little bit country" you dont have to make everything rustic if you dont want to. Mine is just an aluminum extrusion. the issue is that if pocket doors jump the rail or of parts fail, well, you probably have to rip the wall open to fix them. And you also usually cut a few studs away to mount em and unless you're completely reframing, you're not gonna be adding headers for them. barn doors are better if you have a place for the door to slide to.

3D Megadoodoo posted:I've never actually seen a barn with a "barn door" by the by. I'm sure they exist. Having just wide double doors was a pain in the rear end because you needed a shot lead of clearance. they're pocket doors but the door slides on the outside of the wall instead of being concealed like so

My front door is custom-made with a rounded top and 120 years old now and doesn’t close properly from the outside so I’ve never ever left the house from the front.

we typically close at the end of the year for like a week or so to chain up the holidays, but they've never required us to take most of our vacation for it before it's dumb, my boss just doesn't want to pay people to come in for like a day or two before xmas but hey it's cool we're allowed to go up to -24 hours of vacay lol small business

It sucks that since non-holiday Saturdays count, there's no way to get a full two weeks of Winter vacation this Yule. I have to work on Monday the 22rd and it's stupid. e: I mean I guess I should be happy that six vacation days gets me a net of 13 days off, but I'm not.
