I have some questions that are popping up and I could use some advice on what others are doing/have done. I am sure I will have more as we keep moving along.
TL;DR is we started our fairly massive remodel project that we signed before Covid in March. It consists of a dormer Master Suite addition above existing garage/family room, new roof and siding, full kitchen redo including taking out a wall, and framing in an office in the already mostly finished basement and moving the laundry room from the unfinished portion up to the second story. Also flooring all around the main level and possibly upstairs, too.
These questions are specifically about doors.
Front door will need to get replaced. We have a double door currently. We like it. We like being able to open both up when we need to move stuff in/out, Xmas tree for example. I have noticed most people don't have double doors when I look around and pay attention. If they are double wide they are doing the single door with glass panes on either side thing. I like how that looks but we don't want that. Does anyone still do a double door in practice? Does this look terribly 1980s?
Other door question. I had planned to just do a regular door in the basement but I'm rethinking it due to sunlight (big egress window is in the new office) plus I would like to be able to open this area up when not in use. I was initially thinking barn door but then I thought about noise. Anyone have any experience with noise and double French doors or even a double pocket door?
