does anyone know of any detail out there for how to plumb a sacristy sink? I know it has to go to earth, and the architect is saying that it should just be a drywell, but we're not finding any drawings / details to have something more specific to put on the drawings! Any help would be...

I put in more time than i should. Its really daunting when you hear that you have to earn 170 / 200, but its not a direct percentage. (otherwise 183 would be 91%) - i know that the highest i did in any catagory was 89%, and in one category it was down to 67%. (i would guess there were only 3...

WOOT. after postponing it in december (after completely failing to do any studying at all)... I just took the exam, and got 183! very happy. now that that is over... what exam should I look into next... /not sure the husband can deal with the stress of me taking all these exams. LOL

Can anyone provide some help with a code interpretation? I have an owner fighting me on trap primers, saying that they only want to install them where it would cause an "undetected IAQ risk" - the actual code just says to provide them where traps are "subject to evaporation"... I have them on...

check your state's rules? In MI you aren't a PE until you get your license - passing the test is only the first part, you also have to send in recommendatiosn from other PEs you've worked with, etc....

thanks! did i mention that i pushed back my LEED exam till the end of January - i need to stop putting it off though. :-/

Does anyone know if they are looking at putting otu a new issue? or *when* that might be? My work is looking at buying another one, but of course we will end up buying one and then the new one will come out. (that always seems to happin) - they shoudl offer an "upgrade" like if it was software...

ratio where I work - 8 people (1 principal engineer, his wife (office manager), 2 non-principal engineers (me included), 2 plumbing designers, and 2 cad operators. Other than the wife, i'm the only other female. my last job, other than the accountant and marketing / sales person, i was the only...

I totally get the ethical delema - If you get your liscense, then ethically you have to report anything to teh licensing board if someone you work with is doing somethign unethical. obviously this is a problem with your current job. As is, i would just keep trying for a new job, and let them...

I can't stress enough to <b>bring all 4 ASHRAE books with you</b> - you dont need to study from them, but I missed an easy question on HVAC, that would have been a simple look-up-the-answer question, I just didn't have the right book. I only took the fundamentals book, as that had...

congrats!

Congrats Ben! Thats great! I was beginning to wonder what was up with Michigan! Mine came w/in a week of it showing up on the site - you can see the wonderful "certificate" they send. oh and "wallet certificate" - its a bit of a joke. ;) I think i'm going to invest in a nice one I can frame...

you know, I've been watching this, and was all excited when i saw there was activity in the Michigan Results thread - sux that its not news. I can't believe it is taking this long! I'm sure this isn't a very promising thing, but do you think the state shut-down is going to mean no new licensing...

My work paid for all the fees to take the test, and then i got the "day off" to take the test. (does it really count as a day off, if you are putting in 8 hours of test taking for something that benefits the company?) other than that, i had to cover all books, supplies, study materials, etc... I...

ha... I think that among my friends, we use it more as an extra way to keep in touch. (like email)... And for the record - i'd say 90% of my friends are >30 on there. ;-)
