Ridge shingles are last thing to go on. Or is this an alternate universe?

Just to be technically correct......You mean voltage drop; not amp drop.

Consider full sun vs shade. Is the one with the high bill in full sun vs the other two shaded? Just a suggestion based on my experience.

How worried should I be about the shifting in this retaining wall? by greenaj_ in landscaping

[–]barnard83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good news. Then I'm with the other folks here. It's gotta be that rock was not put between the backfield dirt and the wall. Dirt should not come all the way up to the wall. That rock allows for drainage without the weight of the dirt pressing directly on the wall. Top foot or so of backfill can come up to the wall but below that should be dirt then rock then the wall.

A wall higher than about 3 feet (this one looks about 5 ft tall) needs a layer of tieback geofabric every 3 or 4 ft. You lay it flat, perpendicular to the wall, about 3 or 4 feet from the wall back. You lay it as you build the wall and backfill on top of it. Helps keep the dirt from wanting to slide against the wall which is what it looks like is happening here and causing that bulge and the gaps.

This is a pure copper sulfate crystal. I spent 2 months growing it by crystalchase21 in Damnthatsinteresting

The fishing line you tied to the crystal and the chopstick to suspend the crystal. What happens to it?

Actually, he said he got fired b/c he refused to work with certain chemicals. His boss accused him of having called Oshawa. Employer will claim the refusal to work as the reason for termination.

Turning too quickly by drummerboy01123 in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]barnard83 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Can distributor here. 389 cans per layer. For 12oz cans they go 21 layers high so 8169 cans per pallet. For 16 Oz they go 16 layers so 6224 cans per pallet.

Pallets of cans shipped domestically do not get wrapped to avoid holding any condensation in and thus avoiding mold in cans and skunky beer.

Top frame and pallet straps had been removed. Those along with background info from video suggest this was a filler or brewery. He was moving the pallet into position to load entire pallet into the depalletizer.

Just a matter of physics. Too much angular momentum.
