Heck ,if anyone wants to shut you off they could just pull the meter head. It is getting more common around here especially on 200 amp service.

We need more detail ,Ink.

On the subject of caulk,I have experimented with the stuff using different brands and can testify DAP is the best.(silicone)

I would imagine the time required to reach equilibrium (another good word) varies with conditions and stacking of the wood. Good link.

Jerry I did a ride with Will Decker and saw second floor oak cupped in new construction. This was where I had first heard about it ,so I guess it does happen. Acclimate is the word I was trying to think of,thanks.
-
If it is new construction I've heard that this can occur when they do not let it adjust to the environment before installing. In other words wait several days. Anyone know about this?

Steve if you have a great idea ,do not wait for the right individual or someone else will think of the same thing before you move on it. Get a patent. I have never applied for one but understand the can be done with no lawyer for under $100.00 Donny Duecth on CNBC is always talking about it.

Like This? Image Insert: 45.18 KB I called it a trip hazard

Steve it looks like a defense tape for court. I have never heard of Architectural Graphic Standards ,the book refered to in part two. I guess flashing is pretty import eh. Now I would like to take a few CE classes just on that subject, and save for a Flir. Good video though.How did you get it?

If you are talking about the kind of kick plates I am thinking of they are not required. No picture of the threshold?
-
Well that takes all the fun out of it. If you are not allowed to play with fire how are you supposed to leave scorch marks? On the serious side ,this means you have that darn cord to drag around which may feel inconvenient.Plus I bet the pre-solder often has defects in coating just enough to make plumbers jittery about using it.One time would be to many for those secure in their own handi work.

Is that an electric tool?

What she replies with is the truth. -
I do not consider racecar drivers athletes. Maybe it is growing up in the city but I never understood the attraction. I always thought of it as a mechanic competition.

I did pass on a couple inspections as I may have stated on another thread due to the fact they were best suited to a Flir guy. It really sucked. but I am not able to handle that in the budget yet.

I have. Ouch!

Now correlate that to an AC unit. -
Not sure how to answer that. I suppose technically it is ,as is Bowling and doubles Tennis. But...

Ok.. so the ridge vent is not part of the equation. Now you have me thinking about cat four vents near windows which is another subject,but thanks for the insight. -
For those who do not know . Mike is not into team sports. One should not overlook individual greats such as Marion Jones (yuck yuck)

Hard to believe how the Saints and Bears have both started out. Now comes Dallas with T.O suddenly a factor again. I like what number 54 Brian Urlacher said about Brett Favre the other day. He called him an older Tony Romo. Vinny Testaverde is 43 and getting ready to start for N.C this sunday. Last time I recall an old man playing quarterback was Vince Evans for I think the raiders.He was about that age.

Interesting as I never considered the air flow as a one way ride to the top. Does this apply even if the soffit vents (assuming) are in short supply or over abundant.? Is there never anything equivalent to back drafting.? -
Best of luck to all if you deside to build. From everything I know at this point the Ram is more important than Hard drive due to the influx of on-line programs. Think Free just sent me a full office suite online.Not plugging but it works like open office .

You also need to be careful verbally, as I just read someone was sued for gratuitous comments. Someone was recommending even covering yourself in the contract for it.

Sounds like you would find welds. Bet they made a repair at some point.
