    Thanks for being among the few serious posters (although I am not downplaying how funny this thread ended up being.

    For the bedroom, I was considering a hanging chair that can slide across the bedroom. I was actually thinking about mounting a desk on collapsing brackets, so the chair slides into place next to it or can used to join small sitting area.

    The other thing I was considering is a sliding half wall for both. I was thinking for the kitchen mounting a spice rack (like the handyman suggested.) I haven’t considered what i would mount on the bed room half wall yet. If i don’t mount a hanging chair on it, then my arm chair and bed will be on opposite sides of the track (and opposite corners of the room). Not sure. I have soem time to consider it.

    All of the tutorials I have discovered have said if you were to cut hollow doors, then you should glue a piece to the open bottom. They cautioned it might sag with time though. Right now there is no full frame. I gave measurements for rough opening in the OP. No one is super comfortable trying to DIY door frames.

    I am still currently taking suggestions; we have been waiting on various inspections. they are in fact interior partitions. There is sheet rock up. I certainly hope not to keep changing them out. In light of your suggestions, I am going to go ahead and cut some doors.

    Do you recommend hollow doors or solid core? is either easier to cut? are there any special properties to cut one over the other? Should I buy pre-hung? If i do, Im going to have to cut the frames too, right? but Ill have to hire someone to hang a door other wise?




  • The main issue that there is noise passes basically unimpeded. My living space is directly under my sisters room. She can hear my phone conversations. I leave videos on softly to fall asleep to, and the straw that broke the camels back was one woke her up in the middle of the night, and she had a big test in the morning. I certainly dont need her to hear me when Im jerking off.

    I guess I should mention, due to the placement, there is a hot air register that passes between our rooms.
