We are a long way off from putting in the heat and air units but we have to plan now. The return air is suppose to be at the highest point. That won't work in the back hallway since we are doing a barrel ceiling. I don't think I want a flat spot in the barrel to hold the register vent. We are putting it above the door going into the Cleaning Closet. Of course, the framing wasn't right for that because this is out of the ordinary. Those studs need to be moved out to make the right size opening. The more return air vents you have the better and more efficiently your HVAC works.
Moved the studs above the door and added the box. The vent pipes will be added at a much later date.
The return air box juts out into the Cleaning Closet. It has to be just above the door header because of the barrel coming down the wall.
We will need to frame in around it and the ceiling will be low as you
enter the room/closet for two feet but then it will go back to the ten
foot height. This bothers Bill, but since he will probably never go into
this area once he has finished building it I'm not too concerned about
it. It will hold our cleaning supplies and he doesn't do too much with
that. I shouldn't say that, when a rent house needs to be cleaned he does jump in and usually does the really gross stuff for me. I just pull the cleaners together for the job.
