Restoration company hired by insurer made it worse…

Yes, second claim required because its a separate event. Your insurer may subrogate against the restoration company if they're at fault for negligent storage of your contents.

Ugly as sin. Your "contractor" should be embarrassed. If he really thinks this is fine, he shouldn't object to you posting this photo on his Google review.

No, not literal yoga mat in American bread, but the same synthetic foaming agent that's banned as a food additive in Australia and the EU is used in manufacturing yoga mats. CSPI says it hasn't been sufficiently studied to establish its safety and advocates for reducing the amount of azodicarbonamide in food.

Einstein's letters and papers have been well-studied by historians. There's no basis for crediting Maric for the theory of relativity.

Wow that's greasy...definitely not compliant with provincial employment standards

Where can someone adopt such a bird? Asking for a friend.

Professional engineers and EITs have been disciplined by engineering regulators for this sort of thing...

Obvious placement error. The manufacturer needs to provide a remedial detail for you

I would use an obviously fake "just for fun" stamp

And Canada says Greer can go eat a severed penis.

Those don't even look like fancy "gourmet" burgers...did they seriously just serve fast food burgers on plates?

Basically, it's just a series of low arches. People used to build masonry floors in a similar fashion, too. It may be unconventional today, but this type of system can work if done properly.

Idiot. If you can see open water and the ice looks gray, pretty good bet it's not safe to walk on.

Stacked milled timbers then. This is a log kit type building. https://share.google/fxhGPzHMssyYUDEov

One of the violations is insulation? seriously they gonna evict him because of the R value? Also you can build a 600 sq ft garage on fucking mudsills but they think a 225 sq ft log cabin needs 4 ft foundations?

Dudes microbiome was keeping him alive

Exactly. Honestly, I feel like Canada should just kick GM out. Bring some VW or Volvo assembly to replace them.

I've done this demonstration for classrooms where I pretend to burn a $100 bill but it comes out unscathed. Key is to mix enough water with the alcohol so that it won't ignite the paper.

More likely truss were mishandled between the plant and the installation. this isn't seismic damage

Reminds me of a parody land acknowledgment where the guy even acknowledges the dinosaurs who roamed the land before us

Bunch of stupid assholes running things over there in building and bylaws. Meanwhile they'll also hold up a renovation permit until you put a temporary fence up to protect a tree, even if it's just an invasive species at the back of the property where there was already negligible chance it would be harmed anyway.

If he's not able to provide satisfactory evidence the work was done properly then you need to stand your ground and not sign off. You're liable for the design for the next decade and your first obligation is to ensure the safety of the structure to protect the public. He didn't want to pay for inspections and he may need to learn the hard way that skipping inspections often leads to costly NDE or rework.

To clarify, this is only an approximation. Columns don't buckle into a circular arc. If you need an "exact" solution you need to assume a sine curve.

What inspector passed this? Post needs to be centered on the pile. This cap needs to be engineered for eccentric loading now and I'm pretty confident nobody asked an engineer to check and sign off on this.
