They’re not really strong enough for the cold winter months, but are great the rest of the year! <br />The closet you mentioned is built into the eaves of the dormer (of course you can’t tell that from the floor plan drawings, but if you look at an exterior photo you can see it). So it starts at 6’ tall and goes down to 1’ at a 45 degree angle. The only spot high enough to hang clothes is where the current door is. And it’s only 18” wide, so there isn’t much closet space - but it’s great for storing things like suitcases! <br />SoPo Cottagenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918422105938650986.post-843441144067600942024-03-09T10:29:32.614-05:002024-03-09T10:29:32.614-05:00Do you plan to keep the ductless mini splits?
