Nothing fancy on the wood, red oak. The price was just for cabinets. The pulls were not even included. In my limited experience in how much this quantity of cabinets usually would cost, I'm pretty much of the opinion that there was an attempt made to steal my money.

You are correct, that's me. I've built a number of bathroom vanities, closet built-ins, colonnades, etc. Doing smaller scale cabinetry work, without a real pending time line, is manageable. I'm afraid, however, the amount of time required to build an entire kitchens worth of cabinets would be...

I've ran out of people to vent to, so here I am. I got the cabinet quote for a kitchen remodel I plan on starting this spring. Over 19 K for 40 lineal feet of cabinets. Almost $500 a foot for barely semi-custom cabinets. I'm disgusted. I'm not looking forward to starting this process over...

I am not in this boat, but it seems to me that most of the people I have seen posting an opinion around here are going to go for the Civil/Structural test. In my opinion, if you are, and are going to be, a Structural Engineer, take the 16 hour exam.

It might be better suited for aircraft, but I've always wanted to name something "The Flying Buttress". It is open to interpretation, but also has a specific meaning in regards to structures.

I just wanted to note that I called this match up. The Packers will still win by 17.

It's a matter of economics. I'm guessing it's cheaper to get a ticket and make a trip to Atlanta to watch the Packer's play than it is to get a ticket and make a trip to Green Bay, even if you live in Wisconsin, and even if it is a play-off game. It is extremely cost prohibitive to go to a...

As I'm sure you would all agree, the greatest venue for a Super Bowl would be Green Bay, Wisconsin.

In case you are interested. I'd say all that passed, and have their paper work completed, should now have a number assigned. I just looked on the IDFPR site and I was listed. Mine is for the SE license, so I would guess PE candidates should certainly be up by now.

No matter how you feel about the Packers or the Bears, if you're a football fan, you should be cheering on them both this weekend. How exciting would it be to see the greatest rivals in the NFL meet up for a conference championship. The Packers will ultimately be making their way to Dallas...

Did you just look in the "License Look-Up", or did you find this somewhere else on the website?

This brings up another point. I don't understand why they group building designers and bridge designers in the same category. Well, I do understand why they do it, but I don't believe that they should. I think the new 16 hour format is the step in the right direction, but I still think that...

I would have posted this in the "Structural" section, but activity is usually pretty low there, and I'm interested to see if anyone has an opinion on this subject. I have noticed in the PE Results section, since results started coming in, that there are a good quantity of people that have...

I would fear that if you don't get licensed now as an SE, you will never be able to less taking the newly formulated structural exam. I would bet the clock is ticking on the SEI / SEII combo being valid. Come June of this year the two exams might be ignored, if not already licensed somewhere...

This goes back a few years now, but I would be surprised if the DRL procedure is much different from when I was originally licensed. I don't believe the website was updated to say anything about licensure until after I had faxed in a final form after I received my passing letter in the mail...
