Farmhouse Kitchen Curtains: White curtains make a classic addition to any home, and they should look particularly good in a light-filled modern farmhouse. The sleek curtains should blend right in with crisp white walls, and thanks to their traditional feel, the curtains should also play well with the most rustic elements in the room. Live Load Vs Dead Load: The dead loads are permanent loads which result from the weight of the structure itself or from other permanent attachments, for example, drywall, roof sheathing and weight of the truss. Live loads are temporary loads; they are applied to the structure on and off over the life of the structure.
