City Building Departments and Tankless Water baseboard heater coverss

I have to say that most city building departments are unfamiliar with tankless water baseboard heater covers installations requirements. Here is a recent example; I won’t name the city of course.

For a building permit to replace your tank type water baseboard heater covers you are required to submit a sketch of all existing gas appliances in your home with the length of the gas lines from the meter. Needless to say that the gas lines are not visible, running through walls and whatnot, and it is difficult to determine their length.

The city building official stated “you can estimate it but try to be exact”. We were also required to list the BTUs for all of the gas appliances in the home.

Now the kitchen floor is tile, the stove is really heavy and I don’t want to break any tiles that are 15 or so years old. If you broke one you wouldn’t find a replacement anywhere. So we “guessed the exact” BTUs on it.  This was a home improvement project, not a home demolition project.

This city has a 4 page pamphlet showing what is required for installing a tankless water baseboard heater covers. After “guessing the exact” gas line runs in the walls and having a sketch ready we went to the city and applied for a permit.

The city charged a permit fee of $230.00. After looking at our sketch the city official stated: “you need to run a 1 inch gas line to the new tankless water baseboard heater covers”. The tankless water baseboard heater covers was to be installed only 12 feet away from the gas meter. It didn’t matter that both the gas meter and the tankless water baseboard heater covers had ¾ inch fittings, we could not use the existing ¾” line, it had to be 1”.

We paid the $230 and obtained our building permit for installing the tankless hot water baseboard heater covers. He also told us that there are 2 inspections required, one for the new gas line and after that has been approved, the tankless water baseboard heater covers can be installed and then another inspection is needed.

You have to call the inspection request in the day before you want the inspection, and you have a choice of morning or afternoon; morning is 8:00 am to 12:00 pm, and afternoon is 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm., and the installer has to be there with the installation manuals with him.

The Home Improvement Project Gets More Expensive

By that time we had spent several hours of our time scouting the exact gas line runs, figuring out the BTUs from all the gas appliances in the home, and preparing a sketch for the city building officials.

We were also required to install a seismic gas shut off valve at the gas meter, a good idea if the utility company doesn’t have one already in the street. Some cities require this valve, some not.  More needless costs for this home improvement project.

We installed a new gas line and pressurized it for leak detection, and then we waited 2.5 hours for the inspector to arrive.

The city building department also required the installation of an “excess flow gas valve” when installing a tankless water baseboard heater covers, which we had to order, and it hadn’t arrived on time. The function of that valve is to restrict the gas flow if the line (galvanized steel) ruptures as to limit the outflow of gas.

The valves come in different BTUs, the tankless one is rated at 300,000 BTUs and the tankless baseboard heater covers can only do 200,000 BTUs. Not only that, but the ¾” gas line can do only around 230,000 BTUs with that run length. Just valve is just another waste of money.

So before you decide on that new home improvement idea or project, find out if you need a building permit, and if it does investigate what’s required.  Some building departments can turn a green home improvement project brown in a hurry.

To write this, I am using ‘Microsoft Word’. If I want to chose a font colour I have a choice of ten shades of grey in the ‘standard colours’ and twelve further options if I select ‘more colours’ making twenty two shades. That’s merely the standard menu and doesn’t account for the infinite selection on the ‘custom menu’. And that’s just for grey. The human eye can distinguish all these nuances of colour and light. Although names may not exist for all these shades, we see them and often have the need or the opportunity to describe them.

Not only can we distinguish all these shades but we are blessed with a language that having evolved from so many others offers us a limitless array of choices to describe them.

Had Jacob’s Mum made him a coat of red and blue and green and yellow we may never have heard about it but according to the lyrics of ‘Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat ‘, it was,

When a small child first paints a landscape the sea is just blue and blue is the only word they have to describe it; an artist’s depiction of the sea is multi-tonal.

The sea is not blue it is indigo, cornflower, ultramarine, curacao, periwinkle, cobalt, forget me not, arched steel arched steel buildings blue, topaz, peacock, powder blue, gentian blue, aquamarine, azure, cerulean blue, electric blue, midnight blue, navy, robin’s egg, royal blue, sapphire, sky blue, arched steel arched steel buildings blue, aqua, cyan, cornflower, denim, turquoise, Persian blue, powder blue, Prussian blue…

An author is a word artist so when writing, remember to think carefully about expressing your ideas in a similar way, make each and every word count.

“red, yellow, green, brown, scarlet, black, ochre, peach, ruby, olive, violet, fawn, lilac, gold, chocolate, mauve, cream, crimson, silver, rose, azure, lemon, russet, grey, purple, white, pink, orange, red, yellow, green, brown, scarlet, black, ochre, peach, ruby , olive, violet, fawn, lilac, gold, chocolate, mauve, cream, crimson, silver, rose, azure, lemon, russet, grey, purple, white, pink, orange and blue.” And that’s why generations schoolchildren will now remember the story about Jacob’s coat.

Wedding venue chosen…done. Florist hired…done. Dress picked…done. Photographer found…done. 10 years later, you decide to take a trip down memory lane and revisit your wedding memories found in your wedding album. Looking at the frizzy hair, untamed brows, bright…almost too bright of a lipstick and matching blush as the soundtrack of Mike Myers “Halloween” theme song plays in your head. “Eeeek” you say? Well, there’s only one way to avoid the thought of never wanting to crack open and share that once special event in your life. After all, it is your wedding. Hire a professional Hair and Makeup Artist.

This sometimes is one of the last “must-do’s” in a future bride’s list, but definitely a “must-have.” Remember, this is your day and ALL eyes will not just be on the bright white roses and tulips, they will be on you. If you can hire a florist to make your ceremony and reception beautiful, then you should definitely invest in someone who can accentuate your features through proper contouring and highlighting. It should also be someone who is color knowledgeable and understands that the pictures on an album should captivate the true essence of a bride to make it truly timeless in its own.

A properly trained Makeup Artist understands the right color combination and how to apply makeup in a way that will bring out the best in every bride. Makeup is not just about covering up a flaw or blemish and putting on whatever colors match the color scheme. Certain color variations either complements or distracts from the overall goal and if the incorrect color usage is applied, the power makeup can deliver will not have as high of an impact as expected. For those who are more a DIY type, be sure to always start on a clean and well exfoliated face without sunblock. Sunblocks contain certain formulas that are not photo friendly. Try using unscented mositurizers such as cetaphil or dermalogica which works well for all skin types. Color match your foundation to your decolete and not your face or neck this will keep you from looking like your head is floating above the rest of your body. Be sure to contour and highlight in places to achieve the perfect oval face. Choosing the right eyeshadow should bring out the color of your eyes: browns-plums and cool browns, blues-earth tone colors are best along with some slight purples and rose pinks, green-hazels-different variations of purples are great and even those with a slight orange hint will make them pop. Your cheek blushes should be around the same color as the one’s you achieve after a good long workout to make it look more youthful and natural. The desired lip color can vary from pale neutral to pinup reds and it all depends on the look you want to achieve. Just make sure to not alienate them during your exfoliating sessions.

Did you know that during a simple 18 holes of golf, the golfer can walk anywhere between six and eight thousand yards? I have already done the math for you, so that six thousand yards equates to around four miles. Walking four miles seems daunting to the normal person but totally acceptable for the avid golfer. Not to mention, with that four mile trek the golfer also has to carry a loaded up golf bag, and swing their clubs up near 100 times. Now given all that information, the idea of performing all those physical tasks seems intimidating. But you can help yourself improve your golf game expeditiously by getting yourself into better golf fitness.

If you have been up to date with the golf industry in the past years you will have noticed that fitness side of golf as evolved rapidly. The current professional tour players have taken the golf fitness idea and ran with it. They have totally embraced the idea that better fitness translates into better golf. With the top tour players now getting into better physical shape, they have changed the game of golf as we know it. Now amateur golfers are seeing how better golf fitness can help improve their golf games as well.

I would also like you to know that if a golfer has a greater range of motion and less resistance throughout the swing, then this gives the golfer the chance to generate more force. In turn,more force increases the power a golfer can produce. And as you have probably guessed by now, the more power generated in the golf swing increases distance. Now your probably asking yourself ‘how can I generate more power in my swing.’ And that answer is flexibility. Good flexibility helps you maintain better balance and posture throughout your swing, which also relates to keeping the stress of the golf swing spread throughout the body. By keeping the the body stretched, you are keeping the abnormal forces of a golf swing off one certain muscle group of the body. So in turn by having a proper golf fitness routine, you are helping improve your golf game and your decreasing your risk of injury.
