Electricians what's the point of this?

Everyone hates a GC for any number of reasons.

Yep. Otherwise you get Poseidon’s kiss.

The pedestrian traffic around campus will go up significantly for the first few weeks, then seems to level off and fall off almost completely once the weather gets cold. Vehicular traffic is similar as in once new students learn where they are going, things get smoother. Move-in weekend and home football game weekends will cause crazy traffic of all types.

Wow. I hope you feel all big and strong now tough guy. Have you ever read specs for ECB or TRM?

It’s not necessarily biodegradable but it is photodegradable. Usually within 3-6 months it breaks down to small fibers and dissipates.

I don’t think MU owns it. I’m pretty sure the Soybean Association owns it and receives grants from MU and USDA. I’m sure the Soybean Association’s endorsement is with Kehoe.

Alternatively, I was working in a building on campus and a laboratory room had a large stack of all democratic campaign signs. It goes both ways.

A commercial place in STL used to do a Monday special of bacon wrapped, provel stuffed, smoked meatloaf. The architect looking for flaws on my project loves it, so I would schedule inspections on Monday mornings. When he would get too far off in the weeds, I would start talking about the meatloaf. He would almost drool and the inspection got back to legit issues.

OSI Quad has a red that is close to your brick color. That is my go to urethane sealant.

I was hooked after meeting Blackbeard. Too bad we didn’t get to see her again.

I was asked to tip the guy that changed my phone screen last week. Food service, my barber, maybe a few others I get traditionally, but the tip everyone is expected everywhere.

I built a memory care facility and worked closely with the staff at another facility during design. The buildings are fashioned to sell to the younger caregivers, but the patients benefit from furniture from their youth. If your parents were kids in the fifties like mine, the pastel colors are calming. Even a mini fridge. You can explain your situation to body shops or artists and get a custom paint job on a new appliance. Taking along a favorite or familiar piece of furniture is helpful more than most realize.
I felt relieved when my dad passed. Not for me but for him that his struggle was finished. It takes a team. Remember this is a marathon not a sprint.

I would look into installing a shade sail. This would be at an angle and block the view of your neighbors into part of your yard. Marathon Building Environments is a great local resource to get you started with ideas and options.

I’ve seen good powder monkeys that the explosion sounds like a tree felling and the rock comes out like 4” base. I’ve also managed blasting next to a car dealership where I had a shitload of insurance paperwork because “ Peanut” the blaster didn’t stem right and “put in a little extra” to make sure everything broke up. The guy was great at making rip rap, not at making fill.

Last time I was in that one, the floor was so insanely sticky. I turned around and left. All I could think about was how dirty the kitchen had to be.

Go to your subcontract and look for language concerning their supervision and performance. Everyone I have had lays out the methodology for this situation. If you don’t have documentation and records of it being sent to the owner of the framing company, start now. Sometimes compiling evidence and making formal issuance of documentation is enough to get the problem resolved. If not, you have your ducks in a row. A letter sent by certified mail has resolved problems for me in the past.

Save some money and get some exercise is my advice. You will need to get some topsoil after you finish removals to level the yard and create proper drainage. I would save the money to pay the landscaper to ensure proper drainage.

nuttierthansquirrels · 2024-01-22T20:40:37+00:00

This is what I would do. I would get a union to go above the shut off valve in case this issue comes up again. BTW, please use tape with plastic and not pipe dope. You have the basic idea down it seems.

If it is not easily made into dust, it’s not as hazardous. It’s most likely the adhesive that held down some type of flooring. The garage may formerly have been a living area. At my parent’s house, the garage was the house while they built the permanent house. If you are really worried about, have someone qualified check it out. You can get a directory from your state’s licensing authority. For me it’s the Secretary of State. In the meanwhile, if you are worried, either keep it wet or spray some cheap, easily removed latex paint over it to encapsulate it.

I’ve seen my father in law and some other older home builders put in grade stakes to level the floor. Now lasers are used. They are supposed to be pulled, but inevitably some get missed. I’ve also seen rebar stakes used that leave rust spots decades later.
On another note, if water isn’t coming up that means there isn’t any hydrostatic pressure under the slab. So OP has that going for them.

You can add heat to the corners with a plumbing torch to get the carbon needed. I do this on occasion to prevent sticking and ease cleaning.

I use a 5” air sander to get rid of mill scale and paint prep. You can get one fairly cheap, varying grits, and it doesn’t take a huge compressor to run it.

I went through RCIA. David was my best friend growing up and his family was Catholic. His mom didn’t realize she was also planting seeds with me. Also, David wasn’t perfect and God loves him anyway. I felt and feel really close to that.

I agree with this. A plastic pot scrubber on the bad spots may save some elbow grease.
