Also Called Wrap Around or Farm House Porches Country porches are so popular that restaurants use them for branding like Cracker Barrel who lines them with plenty of rocking chairs. And who doesn't take a second look when driving past one on a country road (or highway for that matter). Mary and I love country porches.

Country style porches vary but all have one main characteristic - they are built for comfort!

Nostalgic in nature, music groups are named after them like The Front Porch Country Band and even songs are written about them like "My Front Porch Looking In" or "Sittin On The Front Porch Swing".

Note how the owners jazzed this porch by painting the front door a vivid red along with the red glider. Sometimes a little can do a lot! This decorating scheme can help to visually segment a large wrap around porch.

Country-style porches bring back nice memories to me. I clearly remember as a kid, sitting on my Grandma's porch swing in Fremont, Ohio. We'd talk for hours and still today, Dave and I love a big country porch!

A country style porch conjures up images of comfortable furniture like porch swings, porch rockers, and sipping lemonade with an old dog sleeping by your side.

Mary and I love the look of open porches. Open porches allow a complete view of the surrounding area and are usually easily accessible. They generally have wide stairways and only a few steps.

To avoid needing railings (balustrade) your porch floor usually must not exceed 36 inches from the ground. (Check with your local building codes department for your area's specific height requirement).

Historically, open porches were popular in the late 1800s and were designed for social interaction, conducting business, and avoiding the heat. Open porches are easily decorated and furnished and add immense curb appeal to your home.

We love the simplicity of this country setting. Decorations and furnishings can range from the very simple like the table and chairs above to the sophisticated with bistro tables and outdoor chandeliers.

Some Cedar Grove residents have pushed back in their latest efforts to curb a church expansion on Woodstone Drive.

ADAM ANIK/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER

The St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church campus includes three buildings, two on the east side of Woodstone Drive, and one on the west side.

Officials at St. Mark Coptic Orthodox Church want to expand its parking lot and facility to meet growing demand. But neighbors opposed to the expansion say they fear what rock blasting, the removal of trees and the increase of traffic might do to the neighborhood. Last month, at least five people wrote to a state agency currently reviewing the plan.

Marie Mead said she hand delivered a letter to 44 units in her Highpoint neighborhood, which borders the church, urging residents to write comments to the state Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), which is reviewing a request to waive its own designation as wetlands. The opponents wrote in time for a public comment period, which ended on Dec. 20, 2013, she said.

"We wanted them to express in their own words what it would mean to them," she said.

The proposal was in front of the local zoning board of adjustment, but was designated by the NJDEP as environmentally sensitive in late 2012. The church has since applied to the NJDEP for a waiver. Mead said she hopes the NJDEP denies the construction permit and argued that the church should find a more reasonable place to expand.

Mead said some of the blasting proposed as part of the plan could damage her basement, which is tied into the First Mountain bedrock. She said water coming from the mountain fills up the parking lot and occasionally, the basement, a situation that could be worsened by removing trees and adding pavement.

"Where do they think this water is going to go? They talk about swales and digging but that necessitates blasting to put these drains in," she said. Also, she added, the amount of traffic would make Bradford Road even more treacherous for drivers.

Church attorney Michael Piromalli was not available for comment.

Meier's Pool Cleaning

Our complete pool cleaning service covers all your pool cleaning needs. Home owners just need to add water as needed. Here are the steps we take for our complete pool service (weekly):

Meier's Pressure Washing

We offer many pressure cleaning services for your home. We clean patios, driveways, sidewalks, screen enclosures, roofs, and more. Here are a few of the surfaces we specialize in:

We begin by pressure washing your concrete garage floor with a high-power pressure washing unit (3500 - 4000 PSI) to remove surface contamination. We then apply a powerful industrial degreaser that cuts through the dirt, grease, oil, and salt that your garage floor has accumulated. The floor is then power scrubbed and pressure washed again (usually with hot water) to ensure a clean surface.

After removing limbs and roof debris which may hinder our roof cleaning process, we apply powerful detergents which contains EPA Approved Fungicides/Algaecides and soaking solution to loosen the dirt. We then wash your roof with low water pressure (usually under 1000 PSI) to remove the dirt.

We begin by applying a powerful detergent which contains EPA Approved Fungicides/Algaecides and soaking solution to loosen the dirt. In certain situations, a stripper is used to remove old stain or paint. We then wash your wood with low water pressure (usually under 1000 PSI) to remove the dirt and follow that with a wood brightener. An optional stain or wood preservative may be applied.

We initially apply an industry exclusive (not store bought) application of detergent. Then pressure wash with a high-power pressure washing unit (3500 - 4000 PSI) to remove surface contamination. In some cases, an acid is applied and then neutralized to help in the removal of stubborn stains. All necessary safety precautions are always followed when utilizing chemicals.
