Thanks for the input, everyone. I definitely seems that 6-7 is the norm,
officially and unofficially. Unfortunately, that means I have to some serious
thinking about my original plan, which was 9-10. I was just using 10
(including floor thickness) so that things worked out evenly inside to the
overall outside height and scheme. 10 divided the total height exactly. I
may still go with it so that I have ample room for interior detail viewing.
So thanks again. I'm going to go back to my plans now. BTW - don't expect to
see anything using this information for several months. I'm just in the
beginning stages of planning, and am anal retentive enough to make a few dozen
mock-ups and revised plans before I show the final result.
