Almost done building

All the lights are going in today!! We're really happy with the way things turned out, especially these beautiful double Doors. What are some of you guys using for visibility reduction from the outside looking in. We we're thinking of tinting the glass panels but we don't want want to lose all the sunlight. I think the only other option would be some sort of interior door blinds that we can just lower at night. What do you guys think?

    Conifers. And other landscaping with berms and possibly a short wall. The property is a blank canvas. This is coming into the best time of year to transplant trees. And other plants.

    Off topic - Just curious, have you received your final inspection yet? We were dinged recently on stair railings (on an insurance inspection) because we did not have a continuous rail from top to bottom that could be grabbed by a hand. Looks like you could have a similar issue. Beautiful home, btw.

    @lkbum actually someone on here pointed that out to me Monday and I relayed that info to my GC who is going to have it corrected. I had no clue that was even a thing. And thanks

    Right now it looks like you have no neighbors to look in! How big is the lot and how far is the street closest to the house? Use landscaping to block a direct view in, but not so much that your view out is also blocked. Use landscaping lights that are pointed away from the house so you are always illuminating out/away and not blinding yourself when you look out.

    If anyone’s looking in I think you will see them 10 minutes before they get there.

    There are different types of blinds that you could use to let the sunlight in, but also to keep it private. Light filtering roller shades are used for letting the sun in, and blackouts are those that keep the sun away, both can be installed together, so you can choose whether to have both or not. Here are some examples, first being a sunlight filter and second being a blackout.

    @chispa its a 2.5 acre lot and a cow pasture directly in front so essentially no peepers. More for my wife's state of mind when I'm away for work and stuff. the street is about 95ft from the front door😁. Thanks for your input.

    @toddinmn you may be right lol

    @Windows Thank you

    @Treeshades I'll look into your product
