Continued from Page G-5 By today, they have decided the extra costis worthit and Thorne notes the changesdirectly on the plans using a highlighter, WiteOut, and a red pen. In the master suite, Wardle shaved space from the bathroomtocreatethe bigger closet Seth wanted. Ashiley iis adamant: Nosacrificing vanity Space for = space! Thome makes the | chan Sethasks if it’s okay to move some brick from a wainscot upinto the bedroom gable. “That’s what I'd do, Thorne answers and marks the plans accordingly. After a brief discussion oe about whether or not the garage door should be higher to accommodate Seth’s 7foot-high Toyota Land Cruiser, they agree the standard 8-foot-high ceeiling will be adequate, Gailey popsin and out, updatingthe contract documents and making sure the half-inch-thick packet ofcolors, options and changesare signed, while 10-month-old Brinley amusesherself on the floor with the window-blind cords. The only thing missing is the stucco color, which the couple had seen on another house and liked. Gailey asksfor the address, so she can send the “stucco man”over to match a colortoit. Wardle steps out briefly and comes back with “Ron Thorne” golf shirts for Seth and Ashley andatiny tee-shirt for Brinley. Everything is very low key and relaxed. Constructionwill begin in less than two weeks fromthis meeting, and around mid-June, the Hammons will move into their new house. In between, Wardle will make sure construction not only meets code,but also meets Thome’s own demanding standards and criteria, Although he’s considered a “small builder,” averaging 75 new homes a year, Thorne has amassed an impressive total of 2,500 homes over the nearly 30 years he’s been in business. He owns 11 subdivisions in South Jordan, Herriman, Hunter and River ton, and four brokerages work for him.

But if a gas stove is in that place now, there needs to be a venting system which takes theair out of the house.”’ Chimneys are a problem,too, If the chimney is unable to vent properly because ofleaves or bird nests or if there’s a crack in the flue, then carbon monoxide may be cominginto the house. Both Lang and Owen suggested that just as smoke detectors are important for a homeso is a carbon monoxide detector. They should be placed high heat rises andshouldbe in each bedroomif possible. Someofthe better brands are First Alert and Kidde, and the price range is between $20 and $40. Kidde has a model with a memory feature that records the highestlevel of carbon monoxidethat the device has been exposed to, and another modelhas a digital display with regular updates. The alarmscan be found at most hardwarestores. If you have such an alarmandit goes off, you should check to see if anyone is suffering from any symptoms and if so get medical attention. Have the fire department check for the gas and if it’s present, ventilate the house with fresh air, tum off whatever might be the source and get a technician out to find the trouble spot “Right nowthe fire department is not providing detectors for car bon monoxide,"’ said Lang. ‘For it’s somethingthat is being looked into,” said Lang monoxide Fight carbon poisoning * Ensure that appliances are properly adjusted and working to manufacturer instructions and building codes. + Annually inspect heating systems and chimneys. + Openflues whenfireplaces are in use * Use proper fuel in kerosene space heaters. * Do not use ovens and gas rangesto heat your home * Do not burn charcoal in your home. + Makesure stoves and heaters are vented to the outside and that exhaust systems donot leak * Do not unvented gas or kerosene space heaters in enclosed spaces + Make sure your furnace has adequate intake of outsideair.
