Thank you for this tip! It will be adding that to the framing in the wall for a man door, if by chance I decided to go that way at a later day. It's so simple to plan for possibilities for the future, instead of demolition to make it happen later. Wow, it's so obvious, it's actually common sense, but that flower doesn't grow in everyone's garden...
Glad it was helpful!
How about a floor joist design with a "plug" you could remove in the future for a small elevator installation to get in the basement or up to the second floor as you get older? Say design 2 closets big enough to fit an elevator in, one directly above the other, and do the plug in the floor of the upper level? Everyone gets old, do this instead of an ugly stair lift in your future.
We actually did this exact thing on a home. 🙂
The "stacked closet" design is becoming more common for exactly this reason.
I notice that his headers apparently are not insulated.
They are insulated after mechanical but good eye.
Very helpful Thank you for sharing
I love this concept. The flexibility achieved by building with possible expansion in mind is why I subscribed to your channel. A great way to initiate our family homestead
Any thoughts on if this is possible in a structural masonry context?
Thanks for the comment. Not sure why BS. It’s a tip. Not a claim or must do practice.
All good points. The trend is certainly for bigger doors/windows and open areas, but I've actually had the engineering require the intermediate king studs to extend up with shorter beams between... I've done several of these types of remodels. Those window/door walls are not cheap at all. Have you ever used cantina doors? $$$ 😮
I will need to research those doors. Thanks for the info.
@@HowToBuildYourOwnHome They can fold back or be opened conventionally. Nice, but spendy. 🙂
What about omniblock? Is masonry easier to simply cut through for future mods? (Mindful of the rebar)
@4:49 What stipulated lifting the roof 2.5"?
We needed the gap to fit the new double ply LVL header.
Why spend money later when you can spend it today?
Unless you KNOW that you're going to grow out some direction later, this is advice adds unnecessary cost, time, and thermal bridging (to an area that already going to be one of the worst places for bridging to begin with).
Also, you're acting like that set of 3 gigantic windows didn't let you see the beautiful view until you out in a sliding door instead. I call BS.
He literally said “if you KNOW it’s something you’re going to want to do in the future”…
