  1. Hello. What good experiences have you had with Building Inspectors? What bad experiences have you had? What could an Inspector do to make your interaction with them better? How do you react when they point out that your project does not meet the specs as specified on the approved plans? If you are or have been a Building Inspector, what do you see that a BI could do better? Thanks!

  3. I smoked when I was 13-14. The very first time I got high as a kid is a story for another time. I quit when I was 14 and started again when I was 21. I'll never, ever forget the experience I had my first time smoking weed after 7 years off. I was literally tripping. It felt the way a lot of people describe psychedelics. I thought something had gone wrong and freaked out. I can say it changed my life forever. I met up with three buddies in one of their garage, two veteran smokers. They smoked bowls and only let me take 3 hits, I remember specifically they wouldn't let me take more. I started feeling it. After about 15 minutes I was laughing and 'high'. It kept getting stronger and I didn't hit my peak until around 40 minutes after I smoked. It kept getting stronger. I kept getting higher and I got this hot feeling in my stomach that I couldn't get rid of. I was freaking out about having to drive home and about having to see my parents the next day and looking all weird. I started freaking out about all kinds of stuff. My social anxiety wasn't there I was too high to be self conscious. We just sat in the garage, listening to metal and smoking cigarettes. A song that was only 3-4 minutes felt like 3-4 hours and I kept getting lost and coming back, remembering the song was still playing and it felt like it'd been hours since it started. At one point I didn't feel like i was in control. The 'trip' fastened itself to my brain and wouldn't let me divert my mind to anything else but it. All I could think of was how unbearably stoned I was and the whole time wishing it would end. It was like a floodlight in my face. I had some really weird experiences that night I'll never forget. I still look back at it, five years later. My buddies told me they were starting to get nervous because I was so nervous and they didn't know what I'd do, and that I was acting like I was on acid or something. My eyes were marooned, puffy and I looked like a zombie. Socially smoking brought my 'personal tolerance' up over the next while. I don't hang out with those buddies anymore and I kind of miss them. We still talk sometimes but that's it. Lately in spite of smoking every day my tolerance is getting nearer to the point it was when I started five years ago. I always thought if anything the weed would get less powerful as you age but maybe I'm wrong? ..

  5. Are any of you guys familiar with trigger welding? One of the members on our team this year builds rock crawlers and he trigger welds all his frames. I have never heard of this before but I don't know much about welding either. He said if you turn the heat up then the penetration is just as good as running a continuous bead but I'm still skeptical about how its just as strong as traditional MIG welding?
  6. Hi I’m looking at starting a small business and wondered if anyone could give me some advice and pointers on regards to obtaining a start up business loan. I require £15000. I currently work full time and have an average credit score. Would I need to provide a business plan? Would my personal credit come into play during my application? Can you recommend companies to apply with? Many thanks in advance
  7. I have been thinking about geothermal for a few years but last year the gas company put in a gas main on my street. Running the numbers I find that there is no way geothermal can compete with natural gas for heating purposes. However, I am left wondering if it could make sense to use geothermal for cooling only? Specifically I want to compare costs of open loop geothermal to a high SEER conventional AC system. I did a crude water quality test/calculation that showed neutral to mild scaling potential so I think I am good for open loop. My ground water temperature is about 55 degF so the compressor sizing should be on the small side since it won't have to do that much work. Anyone have experience with open loop for cooling only?
  8. So, I'm having a little bit of moisture penetration up through my floor in the shop. The slab is only about a year old and is hand finished with large fresno trowels so it has a fairly smooth finish to it. So I've been looking at penetrating densifiers/sealers. There are a lot out there. I've found on the forum here a few posts regarding Concrete Sealers USA product PS104. Can anyone speak to the effectiveness of this product from their own experiences? Is there better product? I want to correctly seal the floor before I lay my racedeck.
