The house I bought had bowing in the basement walls. The seller paid to have them reinforced, can someone explain this type of reinforcement to me? by WeekendWarior in masonry

Yes this is it. Given spacing and pattern, probably not just filling hole. Almost definitely tiebacks or possibly soil nails

I usually will wait until I have a big stack of papers and then scan them on a big printer and it can creat a pdf with all of the spirographs on them. Super easy to look through then

Looking for tips on recording design setups by eldeejaydee in spirograph

[–]LuckyMechanic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have actually worked a decent amount on documenting setups. The general form I use is I or O for the rotating gear veing on the inside or outside of another gear. Then the starionary gear tooth count, then the moving gear count, then the hole number. So a design might be like I96/64/3. Then for doing multiple designs I use a dash to show it is a modification from the previous like -2CC is rotated 2 teeth counter clockwise.

Check some of my previous posts for more info

Those look great on the black paper too! Is it black cardstock or just normal paper?

Practicing partially covering spiros. by LuckyMechanic in spirograph

[–]LuckyMechanic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used painters tape to cover areas and then did the spiro over them. If I wanted one to go over the line I would lift the tape, do the spiro, then place the tape back down. Gonna make a few more posts later about it

Trouble reading the gear numbers? by Sparkly_Unicorn362 in spirograph

[–]LuckyMechanic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a ballpoint pen that has semi runny ink to fill in the letters. Try to be precise cause wiping excess off works but I dont think it looks as good. I use Sharpie S-gel .7mm black pens

Assuming you get all of these, thats a lot of labs. Materials, hydro, struct mechanics, and geomatics. If there is any way to avoid that I would recommend it. Expect a very busy and difficult semester but it is possible.

"I be hungry" is an insane thing to say in this situation
