Snow load for 5 12 pitch roof Washington state?
Snow load depends on geographic location, not on roof pitch. Most of Washington falls into the 25 psf snow load. Snoqualmie, for example, has a 50 psf snow load since it receives a higher amount of snow fall than an area such as Seattle. Your county building department can answer this question for your specific location and/or has a snow load map where you can look it up yourself.
Light gray matching marble or black or dark brown granite or quartz countertops would look good.

What is the standard height of a medicine cabinet?
I do not believe there is such thing as a 'standard' height.
There might be a mode height, or even median height.
A:A medicine cabinet should be high enough off the floor that a small child can't reach it, while being at a convenient height for an adult.
Since most bathroom medicine cabinets also incorporate a mirror as part of their door, they're usually hung at a height where such a mirror would be convenient for things like shaving and applying makeup. This can be anywhere from 8 to 16 inches (20 to 40 cm.) above the bathroom sink (as measured from the bottom edge of the cabinet) or about 4 feet (1.2 m.) above the floor.

Can you install a hardwood floor over an existing hardwood floor?
I've done it many times. Make sure the original layer of wood is nailed tightly to the subfloor so that it doesn't squeak. Ideally you would go perpindicular to the original flooring, especially if it is Fir which has very loose milling. If you go the same direction as the Fir, you are married to the same vertical problem of movement that is inherent in that product. A layer of 30# felt helps reduce that movement problem. Most people want to lay it the same direction, because that asthetically looks the best, which is why they layed it that way in the first place. Summary: lots of nails in original floors to stabilize, 30# felt for movement if it's Fir

What are the feng shui laws in architecture?
I wish to give you my point of view as an expert in classical Feng Shui.
First of all there are many schools of Feng Shui, and therefore some rules are specific to some of them. A "missing corner" of a building can be seen as bad in the Ba Zhai school, and auspicious in the San Yuan school for example.
However some common architecture rules from a traditional Feng Shui are as follow:
-the best house shape is the square, followed by the rectangle. The same goes for the entire premises.
-the door and windows should be in proportion of the house
-the left side of the building (inside looking outside) should have be slightly more elevated than the house itself; it is called the dragon side
-the right side also has to be slightly higher than the building, but lower than the dragon side. It is called the Tiger side.
-the back of the building, referred as the turtle, should be strong and protecting, and distant enough not to overlook the premises
-the front should have a small elevation that protects the house, it is called the phoenix
-the centre of a house should be empty to let the Qi circulates properly. Heating or pond in the center are a big no-no
-the kitchen is best not located on the tiger side, and best voided from direct view, to protect the wealth
-kitchen and bathroom should not be located in direction that trigger a fire and water clash
Those are only a few on the important rules to be respected, and each house has to be tailored for its occupants.
