[TheForge] Railing Question.

Tue Jul 15 12:55:04 2003

I recently finished my first 'cable rail' (all horizontal elements) which appeals to people particularly because it doesn't block any view. In the event the ladder ruling goes into effect this style would become victim as well. This was new construction on ultra-anal mercer island, WA.

New addition  built onto an existing residence. From the elevations it looks
like it is an entirely new detail, so he can not even hang any credibility on
following an existing design.
