What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Palos Verdes Estates
The Palos Verdes Art Jury has authority over exterior design, which affects how visible chimney repairs may be handled. A report records the existing finish and the condition of each surface in close detail, giving any later submission a clear starting point. Marine clouds settle in during May and June, and frost is rare, so salt and damp lead on metal parts. With a fault offshore that also reaches beneath the peninsula, each crack is logged by where it starts.
