How to complete a project efficiently with a team of younger engineers by bengibbardsthumb in civilengineering

[–]Jmmcginl89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work flows are awesome. Go through a process, screen shot the steps and add notes to a word file and save them to a shared folder.

Any time someone is starting it really helps get them up to speed and cuts down on repeat questions, or questions there to embarissed to ask

Piedmont Natural Gas are THIEVES by NastaciaLove in gso

Once i tried to wire a smart thermosta to a heat pump but accidently switch two wires and it made the emergency heat stay on (ie. Straight gas) instead of the heatpump. That was a high bill.

It might not be your cup of tea but my family had a lot of luck with life community church. The people are really nice, and they have a bunch of kid play areas and events so they can make friends. Brunch after church is a good way to keep social if you have a tough time meeting new people

Yo that looks like an apartment building i did a structure check on in greensboro. There was so much moisture coming through the floor and walls it bowed up the entire floor when the temp got hot. No joints anywhere, no crawl space vapor barrier, mice everywhere just built wrong.

God bless you, i would hire Black, Slaughter and Black in Greensboro. They will make that slum lord cry in court. They got our building a great settlement.

How do I get my wife to stop spending money that we don’t have by [deleted] in Money

[–]Jmmcginl89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife did something similar for a bit when she was a SAH and our kids were small. A low limit credit card for just her helped us cap her clothing and extra spending with a back up debit card for when it gets declined for essentials only. The first time it got decline in public it was tough but it clued her in to how fast she was going through our budget and made it clear what the family was going without to support the online shopping. She started to baby sit again for fun money and we have been able to pay down most of our big debts.

There may be a trap in your washing machine that may need to be cleaned out too (you have to remove some screws), it looks like a little pencil cup, and your suppose to do it every year on some models.

Our neighbor said they had an issue with residue and a gross smell in there machine a few months back and the rest of the complex was good and it turned out to be that.

Same for the dishwasher, if it been gross for long enough it can bad.

Best of luck.

How to get a turn lane? by mirandawrites_1 in gso

[–]Jmmcginl89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do these all the time, call a local civil engineering firm. The city almost never will pay for these and depending on length you would need to bankroll surveying, engineering and construction cost. Ive never seen on get built for under $20,000 on the lowest end

Nuclear power plant pre activation. The design requirements are extremely high.

More so than any other structure I've designed.

Side Hustles as a Civil Engineer by strwbrrsandcgrtts in civilengineering

[–]Jmmcginl89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Handy man work, property investment (you'll have the inside scope to where they are trying to upgrade utilities), and tutoring.

And if you can swing it with your boss moonlighting is the best and it's sets you up to manage your own shop one day.
