My 1959 red brick construction house in Tucson, Arizona is built the exact same way, but for heat control in the summer. I also own a rental house that is 100 years old made of 14" thick mud adobe walls, including the interior walls! A

10kg of steel would cost about USD$10.00, and then shipping it around the world costs again. At my factory, we use the number "50 cents a pound" as an average cost for shipping pallets around the lower 48 states. So your extra 10

Its a sewage treatment plant. He has not had anyone come to his business in 25 years that needed ADA compliance. It is part of the current building code, so that is that. No ADA, no final approval.

it was my friends mistake - the city code was clear but he was not aware of it. He owns a lot of buildings, so he self insures and has done so for 20+ years. This particular building they were making into a new business headquarters, so it

There is also magnification on the investment with leverage, and it can be a good hedge against inflation. Condsider a property that costs $1,000,000 which you may be able to finance 75% of. You have $250k invested, but it is the whole valu

Today I learned I am a heptopod apparently. I have ideas quite often that I find hard to write out in sentences, so I end up doing a pen sketch/drawing thing with many colors and stick figure drawings with one or two words beside it. I

I believe they can send out a unique fingerprint of pulses so that UnitA is not confused by UnitB signals. Much in the same way that you could have three cars in a row, but each one only responds to the remote control for it.

I live in Arizona and I drive through twisters like that all the time. They are a constant feature in the desert. Along with tumbleweeds blowing along, which disintegrate nicely when hit by your car, but would appear as a large solid mass t

I am the company owner. I had the bizarre experience of net productivity going UP by firing the warehouse manager. Apparently he had the habit of telling the same long-winded story to each of his 8 co-workers, individually. Once he got done

If you consider the Ipad came out in 2011, which was 5 years ago (for a few more days), I would say 5 years. Touchscreen devices make up about half of the global electronics industry, so by extension half of Shenzhen was built to accommodat

conversion kits did exist for the fuel change. It was mostly about putting in harder valve seats. The lead was a useful lubricant for the valves. My idea is that the small block Chevy engine is ubiquitous in the hot rodding world, and it is

So why doesn't the big machine actually print something larger? I have a Haas Mini Mill, which has a 16x12x10 inch work volume, and that is small a lot of times. I would buy the $69000 version in a heartbeat (we are a manufacturing com

I am looking at your machines now. I can't seem to understannd why your smaller machine is $3500 and the slightly larger one with manual laser scan is $69,000. Its not like the laser scan is controlling the machine, and adjusting print

I had one of those too. I was telling my 13 year old and 9 year old son about it last week. They looked at me like I was insane, then went back to their tablets.

For anyone who needs things waterjet cut (or other methods) there are a lot of metal fab shops out there, and you can get things cut cheap enough. The last water jet job I had done in a 24 hour rush was $140 for a 1 sq ft piece of aluminum
