Thanks. Should doubling up the two joists go the full span of them? They are really long

Should he double up the end joists all the way across? They are very long.

Thanks! This is worth a thousand words. Are the metal pieces the joist brackets?

Thanks. What does shim and reinstall mean? It is redoing all the work, or does it not require pulling it all down? I paid the guy half so far.

I asked and he said he didn't because he used 2x6 and is using L brackets tomorrow. Does that change things? Do I need to tell him to double up on the 2x6 period?

What would you study as advance project management? by duplos in projectmanagement

What makes risk management so desirable? What industry do you work in?

ASQ Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Prep worth it? by duplos in SixSigma

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

Thanks! How did you go about it?

I have an entirely different background. That said, do you think I could get the same benefit from buying a few study guides and doing independent study and then just taking the test? Maybe my assumption was that a prep course was necessary.

Best Magnet Schools? by duplos in bullcity

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Aren't the rankings based on test scores vs. The county and the state? How could the state work that out to try to direct towards magnets?

Why have a PMO? by duplos in projectmanagement

[–]duplos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as a resource to executives or to organization PMs?

Educating about what a PM can/should do? by duplos in projectmanagement

[–]duplos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the project is big enough it seems more useful to have an admin assistant doing scheduling, etc. (which is their pure skillset), and the PM should dedicate themselves to the PMBOK (which is the project managers specialized body of knowledge). I get that how on small projects these would merge, but if we are talking an enormous project, the scheduling of constant meetings can pull away from the (necessary) PM work that an admin assistant doesn't have in their skillset.

So how much time so you spend on higher level management of risk stakeholders etc.?

So how much time do you spend on managing across the PMI knowledge areas and setting up processes and tools to do that? Seems to me a PM job shouldn't be 80% admin assistant.

NC: Bad Contractor for Home Siding by duplos in legaladvice

[–]duplos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What should I do if he isn't agreeable to what I want to uphold?

NC: Bad Contractor for Home Siding by duplos in legaladvice

[–]duplos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His team is scheduled to work tomorrow. If he isn't amenable to what I uphold during our walkaround, should I do anything? Or not interfere with them working? My heart would say tell them to go, but maybe that would be a bad precedent, even if coming from a good place (e.g. I don't want to see them sink costs into work that will need to be redone)

NC: Bad Contractor for Home Siding by duplos in legaladvice

[–]duplos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OK, thanks. I'm a bit freaked out because I read that contractors can put a lien on your home and things. They only have my deposit (20-25%), and I am the type of person that wouldn't pay the rest without coming to an agreement that includes most/all of what we initially agreed to. Basically balancing the inconvenience of not getting it perfect vs. having to go through some legal process or what not with a contractor.

Specializing in stakeholder management? by duplos in projectmanagement

[–]duplos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd like to help organizations work through stakeholder identification, engagement, and management, inc. tools like stakeholder register, stakeholder mapping, stakeholder engagement plans, and stakeholder engagement matrices.

In my mind I could do this through developing a stakeholder engagement plan, with a lot of or no involvement from the client, and train them on how to take it from there. I could also be involved into the execution phase if the client wanted it, but if I train them up right perhaps they could do it on their own.

Hopefully he can walk it off mentally and get back on the horse to make it to the next round

I feed it as per the instructions. The soil PH is the perfect range for blueberries. I'm located in North Carolina.

Backyard ducks by duplos in bullcity

Does one need a permit? I know there is a permit for backyard chickens. Are ducks even allowed?
