T/F.
1- no. no unvented heaters in bedrooms, bathrooms, or any confined space. I don’t like them at all, anywhere, anytime.
2- not less than 6" from the ground. I don’t like them either…lots of heat loss…better options.
3- 2" to 4"
4-F I want to say 8ft is the limit on the studs if they are supporting more than the roof and ceiling, if not i think 10ft…not sure though.
5- looks like the tyvek is over the concrete which will allow moisture to infiltrate up the wall and rot out your wall.
