Is there a code that sets requirement for inswing entrance door to single family residence? Just wondering why the least secure design is present throughout the US
We just moved into a house and the door to the bathroom is an inswing which is inconvenient since the bathroom is small and the door covers the towel bar.
I want to switch the door to outswing. I'm pretty average at DIY things, but never dealt with doors before. How difficult would this be? Do I have to get a new door or can I still use this door? Thank you.
What would you prefer as I can do both (tapeball). With and without slips.
We are installing a ramp alongside the right side of the house to a side door. At the top landing, the door will be on the left. I think the lever handle should be on the far side of the door (inswing door), away from the ramp. My husband and the installer both think the door handle should be on the side closest to the ramp. Which is most convenient for a wheelchair user? We're planning this out now, and I really want to get it right.
Edit to add: the landing is 5'x 5'.
I currently have a 32x80 exterior right hand in swing door between a hallway and a mudroom. It would be far more convenient to have a door function like a left hand outswing here. The door needs replacing anyway but left hand outswing doors need to be special ordered and are more expensive.
Can I just purchase a a left hand in-swing and position the prehung in the frame the way I want it to swing? I don't mind some light carpentry for any minor modifications. I do need this to be an exterior door.
(If I understand code, I will be building a landing on the mudroom side so that the door swings over a surface level with the "interior" side.)
Hey all,
Over the past months, the insane cargo shipping rates + Dr. Burry's former interest in $STNG and $GOGL lead me down a bit of a research rabbit hole into the shipping industry, and thought my findings may be interesting to you. Today, the focus will be specifically on Oil Tankers.
Shipping- An Asset Play
If you've looked into any shipping company, you've probably noticed how volatile earnings can be- for example, International Seaways, Inc. ($INSW) an oil tanker company, posted operating revenue of ~ $517m in 2014, ~$270m in 2018, and ~$421m in 2020. Across all shipping companies, across all time, you will find this severe volatility and seasonality, as the revenue of shipping companies is tied to commodity prices, seasonal consumption and production of goods, international trade agreements, etc. So why touch this industry if you can't easily predict earnings? The answer is, quite simply, the ships themselves. Consider the scale of a Very Large Crude Carrier (VLCC), the second largest type of oil tanker- typically about 330 m (1082 ft.) long; that's the size of 3 soccer fields back to back. These things are MASSIVE, and take a long time to build, typically 2 years at least. Now, combine long build times with cyclicality and you open up a HUGE opportunity. Whenever the market is down, many shippers are struggling to stay afloat (pun intended,) trying to maintain the fleet they have if not selling ships for scrap or selling them off to other shipowners for cash. Then, when markets pick up, ships can produce more revenue, and everyone is making money, there's a rush on the shipyards, filling orderbooks for years in advance. See the chart below taken from Frontline Ltd.'s ($FRO) 2021 Q3 Presentation.
These charts show the total number of ships on the water by type of ship (VLCC is the largest of the three, then Suezmax, then LR2.) When times are good, and people get greedy, shipyard orderbooks fill to capacity for years in advance. However, these new ships won't be added to the supply of ships on the water for years. The increased earning potential of a ship combined with scarcity means a used ship that was worth $25 million yesterday can be worth $75 million tomorrow While I've hard a hard time finding examples of this specific effect, I found a good example for the reverse happening du

Quesiton: Home Depot and the like only stock "inswing" exterior doors, none of the other window or door suppliers I can find near me stock these doors at all, 3 to 6 weeks out at best. If I buy an inswing right hand door with jamb / door frame and have and installer install it as a outswing left hand door, will that work?
I am replacing a hollow-core door that never really worked because when I hung it, I had to trim 1" off the bottom and that apparently completely removed the frame from the bottom of the door and left the hollow portion exposed under the door edge. It was flimsy end eventually failed.
I want to replace it with a solid core, but I need one that is not filled with foam because I need to cut off the 1" again.
Is there a decent, cheap interior utility door that fits this description? I'm not sure where to look. I have had limited success at Home Depot (they don't have one) and Lowe's (This one MAY be what I need, not sure).
Thanks
We are looking at changing the single side door on our Cape Cod style house to Andersen A series French doors. The door accesses the kitchen, so for flow, outswing is preferable (current single door is inswing). However, I have some concerns about the longevity of an unprotected outswing door in a New England climate. Does anyone else have outswing doors without any kind of awning above? How have they held up?
I first noticed this years ago when I first started watching and thought it was a goof, but given the intentional jokes in this show and careful scripting, I'm wondering if this has some hidden meaning.
S1:E11 "Public Relations." At 12:40, the front entrance door is a left-hand inswing door. At 13:23, in the same scene, it switches to a right-hand inswing door.
Given the amount of work it would take to switch this around, I can't imagine it's a simple goof. It doesn't seem to be a flipping of the image either because that little thing to the left of the door hanging on the wall is always on the left.
I think there are other times that it changes, but I've just started rewatching it and taking careful note. I'm also watching all other doors too in Balboa Towers to see if they change.
Thoughts?
