open shower or a door that closes?


I would like to put in one of those cool showers with one big clear glass wall and you just walk in. My other half thinks it will be cold in the winter and wants a door to close. Does anyone have any opinions on this? Thanks

roof hatches and ladders


I need to replace a roof hatch. It will become part of a small bedroom. I need to find a good vendor for the hatch and need some ideas about the ladder. Does the ladder need to be attached? Can I have a telescoping ladder next to it, or under the bed? Where can I get a ladder for this? Thanks.

skylights & roof traps


I need to replace a skylight (the type on the top floor of the stair in a townhouse) on my roof. I also need to replace our roof trapdoor with a nice, new locking one. The roof trap door will be in my son’s new room (creating 3 bedrooms up there) so I want it to be clean and safe. ANy recomendations for good, non-leaking skylights and roof trap doors? (which open easily?

Shower/tub against window – leaks?


We are renovating two bathrooms. I have seen some beautiful bathrooms configured with the walk in shower at the end of the bathroom and the window is part of the shower. Bathtub/shower as well. One contractor said it’s great no problem, another said no matter what you do it will leak water into the wall. Does anyone have this? For a good period of time?
