We installed three venting skylights earlier this year combined with ceiling fans does the job really well. It was expensive but well worth it.

I need to replace my shower glass due to a leak and corrosion. Any recommendations for a good glass shop?

Thanks,

We thoroughly enjoyed yesterday’s rolling thunder and rain. I only saw one lightening flash but apparently the strikes were frequent up the hill at Lake Alpine. Let’s hope no forest fires were started. The photo was shared from the Bear Valley Cross Country & Adventure Company’s Facebook post.

I also have a whole house fan at my primary residence, they are great. A couple of ideas…you could install one or more small whole house fans on the gable ends of your cabin. Also you could install a fan within a skylight that could be opened when you needed to ventilate. I have seen an opening cut in the ceiling, creating a flat surface on the roof, installing the fan with a cap. One thing for sure, not going to be as easy as installation with an attic.

does anyone here have a whole house fan (exhaust fan) in a house with no attic? we have one in our house in the city but it has an attic. i didn’t know if the snow would mess with one if i were to cut a hole in the ceiling.. they work so well i’m hoping someone has one.

Thanks. I think it is standard procedure to double the permit fees if you build something first that requires a permit.

I sent the inspector an email letting him know I had an architect and engineer working on it. His reply, in part was:

Thanks for the info, no hurry on my part, I was hoping we could let it slide but the big boys said no because of the complaint.

Good Luck

Sorry to hear about it Allen. Let us know how much the permit fees end up being. Sounds like the inspector was happy so you should be good.

I’m not sure if I’m doing this right! Trying to send a private msg/reply to *Hardydna*. Hardy (originally MacHardy from the old days) is my maiden name. Is there another Hardy up here? Thanks! Marsha F (mfagnanistudio@comcast.net)

I should add that my first post might have been inaccurate. The neighbor I mentioned and myself had an altercation a few weeks ago regarding my chainsaw. I confronted him and he denies contacting the county.

[allen]

I’m pretty sure that is the number I called. Got an answering machine or voice mail. Left a message but no return call.

We used M&M Drafting last year for our deck plans. Contact Mark Miguel 209-728-3845

[allen]

I called M&M but nobody answered and they did’t return my call. Thanks for the info sspmoose. If I had more free time I would probably try to draw my own plans. Aleon, already found someone but in case things don’t work out I’ll keep you in mind. Thanks. This whole thing is ironic because this cabin (not the one we live in) is located in Dorrington Meadows. Most of those cabins have decks built in the 50s without any permit and most are about ready to fall down. We build a nice deck to replace the old rotten deck and now someone complains. Guess they are jealous!
