The Construction Thread

Did the UK really want a Nuke Plant that was Made-in-China?

As the California DOT about their Chinese made bridge.

I worked in a basement on a job in San Francisco. I had the advantage of being nearly level with the sidewalk. Being the gentleman that I am I did not look up any of the guys legs. I saved my viewing pleasure for the ladies. It was a wonderful day!

I used to love going down to the Financial District and standing by the BofA when the women left for lunch. I could fall in love two or three times in a hour.

In another life, I'm going to turn wood into furniture. All I ask is for a really big workshop and lots of tools, and maybe for a dog to wait for me by the doorway.

I have that... it's wonderful so keep that dream.

 

[LLCox]

Any of you ever heard of yoyoing with two bulldozers. An old backwoods mountain trick.

I do as well...what do you make

I do as well...what do you make

I make furniture, mostly dining room tables, desks and free standing cabinets out of old barn wood some rough some planed down. Also routed out on barn wood Civil War Union and Confederate Regimental Flags. Also I cruise the Good Wills for Tee shirts with graphics I like and frame the graphic. Got the idea from framed retired sports jerseys.
Here is an example of a local event.

I have to wonder if this pool failed on the first filling.

Such a "monolithic" failure....

Do you stop sea level rise, or just adapt to it?

This makes house lifting look pretty simple.

Designing from home is great. May never go in again! Builders and fabricators?

Send the truck with my Syncrowave. I will build the parts in my garage and we can settle up on the electricity later.

We working OT this week?

A staff meeting at home is different than a staff meeting at work.

This was linked on the SFC page. Makes lid lifting look impossible.
