If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, we might as well paint it he same color as a duck. Brown is very appropriate, if you really think about it.  … let’s see, what else is brown?

i agree with you Nick.
 

Based on some of the degree changes I’ve been hearing about lately I can only conclude that there are probably a lot of people in LA for the wrong reasons.
 
Architecture? Really?

It’s true, and I still don’t really get it.

Yes, but you do know that one thing that caused the 1929 Crash was the Wild West mentality of the stock market during the “Roaring 20’s”. That is the point I was making…I could actually come to the conclusion that the hands off, unregulated trading of stocks during the 20’s precipitated the Great Depression.  Much like the housing…[Read more]

So essentially your saying  the Laizzes Faire behavior after the crash of 1920 led to a prolonged recession in 1929. Got it. Sounds about right.

Architecture…..it will pay off later when you have your own practice.

Can we admit that the economic policies of our government are trending much more to the right then the left? That we had members of the GOP sign anti-tax pledges and essentially threaten to drive the economy off a cliff if they didn’t get everything they wanted? I heard a woman from Britain speaking on the threat of default that Tea Party members…[Read more]

Sweet…thanks for the tip. I’m lovin’ the mid-century modern!

Most of the rules are in the health code including fencing, but the second story deck is not turning up for me. I’m probably just going to have to wait until I can call tomorrow.
 
The best that I could find was all the way over in Washington state …. 15′ horizontal. 

You might also want to check your state or local health code, as that is where many of the pool regulations reside.

Red is good luck in the Chinese culture. Much of the design and symbolism has to do with inviting luck in to the home and persons.

sorry, don’t like the brown..just don’t like it..
what is the Chinese garden theory with red, anybody know? Dr. Sun, our visiting Chinese professor at Penn, clutched his fat stomach and laughed long and hard at my Chinese garden…but I appreciated it..a lot to learn..

Jason, the issue is the kamakazi diver rather than the normal walking around the pool issue.
 
Henry, I will call the building inspector for the town that it will be in tomorrow, but I’m trying to get a draft out tonight.
 
Thanks to both of you for your quick responses.

Aren’t second story decks, or any elevated deck for that matter, usually considered structure and therefore be subject to the same rules as the building?
