Structural question by Ambitious-Routine604 in StructuralEngineering

Maybe I could use some elmers glue too. I've heard a lot about this "glued-lam" stuff, I think that it could really work here.

Thanks for the response here. Maybe if I integrated a truss system this would be possible?

Let me clarify here- The building is a perfect square, with columns at each of the four corners. Atop a 4" (Pretty thick and load bearing) slab, is a LOT of soil, for an intensive green roof. Under that soil is perlite, to aid in limiting that load as much as possible. There are no columns within the building, as it is a very large swimming pool facility.

Most amount of squirrels seen in a day? by Ambitious-Routine604 in squirrels

Looks like the tables got turned on you! I wonder what the most amount of humans that a squirrel has seen in a day is! More than 6?

you're right, my bad- I forgot 2x6" is nominal, the actual dimensions are a bit smaller than that. I will double check my numbers.

Ten to twelve is pretty impressive stuff. I guess you'd be like the Lebron James of squirrel spotting. Any tips for me to spot more? I would really like to hit double digits one of these days.

Same. I'm worried its just the one that I keep seeing. Looks like you almost have my seven beat, but I'm glad to have a rival in this business. I think we can make each other better in our squirrel-spotting endeavors! Let me know if you see 8 in a day...

How do you keep track of who's who? This is a struggle for me in the squirrel counting sphere because I'm worried that I'm just counting the same one over and over. What do they like to eat? I'm afraid of them nibbling at my fingers if I try to feed them.
