Heater Model? - Do you know the model of the heater you used? I know its Fostoria..but which one? And did your carpenter trim it out with stainless steel or did it come with the trim? »
Christian Rice Architects, Inc. As the project architect, I'm generally not involved in furniture selection- which is also true in this case. This furniture was provided by the homeowner. Sorry I can't be more helpful-
shlybennett Have you been happy with the heaters? I've looked them up and was a bit suprised at the low price. Just curious how long they've lasted and how reliable they have been. We are building very close to the water in Corona Del Mar and i'm concerned about the stainless tarnishing over time.
Christian Rice Architects, Inc. Yes-- I've used them several times. They don't put out as much heat as the gas heaters-- but the recessed installation is a much cleaner look. As long as the ceiling height is not too great, they work really well. -Christian
Keep the porch raised up off the ground. This will help to create a sense of security and allow you to look out over the neighborhood. But keep in mind that if a front porch is raised up 30 inches or more from the ground, code requires a 36-inch-high guardrail for safety.A high perch can help you watch over the neighborhood, and a safe neighborhood is a happy and comfortable neighborhood. You've probably heard of Neighborhood Watch programs — a front porch allows you to be an active member. Parents know more than anyone how important it is to have a safe place for raising kids. Just by sitting on the porch you can help deter crime and unwanted activity.
