square feet of ceramic tile. Can I just put it in my trash can for regular curb pick up? Do I need to call and make special arrangements? How do you guys who DIY dispose of larger than normal or construction debris?

I would like to use bi-fold doors but the opening is ~8ft x 7ft which are not common at all. So I am open to any suggestions of other types of doors. Also, ... »
any suggestions on a custom door supplier that could make doors to fit this space? Also notice the top corners are not the usual 90 degree angle. If there are any contractors willing to take on this job, I am open to hearing from you as well.

  I have use bi-folds, you may be able to cut off from the outer ... »
  border of the door only a small amount from one or both sides depending on measurements or if you need to add use the same thickness of board. Maybe you can use a curtain or two for fullness with a garden print or other architectural print it may be hard to find but it can be possible, in my area I go to Ross. Or even better two small french doors and yes check Habitat for Humanity they have all you can not imagine in doors windows . good luck and post you solutin

Schroeder Design/Build creates a laundry room to literally hang in

Would you ever have thought a laundry room could be so fun? Here is a testimonial from our client ... »

Saturday night our daughter clebrated her 14th birthday, by having 12 girls spend the night......all was going well, loud and rowdy with the occasional scream, then silence. I waited before I walked down stairs, so I would not look like an over protecting mom. I cautiously walked downstairs, to my surprise there were no girls. I walked down the hall. The door to the laundry room was closed, but the light was on.
As I approached the door I could hear a voice or two, as I opened up the door, much to my surprise all 13 girls are in my laundry room. I asked, "Why are you all in my laundry"? They shouted "we love your laundry room it's so bright, cool and welcoming....not to mention there was a fair amount of food"
