I don't know if this is true, just heard it by word of mouth, but I was told there are a few counties in California where you can't have a gas mover, has to be electric, and you can't have a charcol grill. Any of you guys from California ever heard of this???
Not quite the case yet although they've put some heavy restrictions on the gas mowers that are supposed to come into effect in another year or two. You can still buy charcoal or a charcoal grill although I wouldn't be surprised to see that come into effect, too.
They have now included into the building code......only one log burning fire place per home. The others have to be natural gas burning. I've also heard that there are overides on that code that come with a hefty price tag. I don't personally know of anybody who has built a home in the past couple years with more than one log burning fire place, so that's second hand information (or gossip?).
