re: 10 vs 12 foot ceilings in new construction

I agree with your wife. I hate this new trend towards extremely high ceilings, completely removes the comfort feel of a house.
I'm not saying build some dollhouse at 8 ft, but when people start talking about 12 ft or higher I never think it looks good (assuming you're building some reasonable sized home).
If you're building some castle mansion then by all means make sure the heights match the footprint.

I think we've decided on 10 foot downstairs and 9 foot up, but with 12 feet in the living room for effect.
Thanks everybody for all the thoughts. Now, I need your prayers :)

Guess that depends on the home.
Right?
One advantage is high ceilings can create great airflow. We built one of our places based loosely on a couple of old Savannah homes. One unexpected benefit: Opening the front door and rear doors allows a crossdraft that will often blow papers off tables. Same for our beach place.
Our homes are a bit on the large side, so the proportions work, but they are very comfortable homes.
