    Little things that irritate you

    People texting while at a red light that get pissy when you honk your horn for them to get their heads out of their ***** and go.

    Little things that irritate you

    Using the word "and" when you really mean "to"... I'm going to try and mow the lawn after work today... Pronouncing potable wrong. Hell the instructors from TEEX even pronounce it incorrectly. Cement vs. concrete. Waking up thinking its Friday when it's only Wednesday. Hangovers after only...

    What was this movie?

    I was born 9 months to the day from my dad's b-day. I guess I know what he got as his present. :multiplespotting:

    Movie thread

    I saw Prometheus on opening night and was pretty disappointed. It didn't suck, but was not a great movie either. I really had a hard time following the intricacies of the plot. Not very scary either. Might be a good renter though.

    End of the Line for Landlines?

    I have been on Vonage from about 2003 or so. The one thing I like is that I can take the little box with me while traveling and just plug it into the hotel Ethernet adapter. I then have my home number and can make free calls from anywhere in the world.

    Hobbies?

    Building airplanes. I am currently building an RV-10, a 4 place experimental. http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/rv-10int.htm It takes up all of my spare time and money, so that is the only hobby I have at the moment.

    Bridge Design Check

    Here are some photos of the finished product. All in all it turned out better than I expected, but the contractor did mess up a little on the beam placement. He installed them on the inside of column #s 2&4 instead of the outside like I detailed. I think it will be fine and we can fix...

    Bridge Design Check

    I completely changed my design, because it depended on being able to find 2X8X30's. I now have 6X6 columns (5 ea at the ends and 1/3 points) as well as 6X6X8' beams tied together at the columns. The 1/3 point columns now just go straight down instead of angling back on a 45. I would upload a...

    Bridge Design Check

    Using the numbers you gave me (assuming no Fs was built in) my new design has a Fs of 3.14 on the beams and 2.0 on the columns. Thanks you guys for your help. I'll take some pictures of it after I complete building it in a few weeks.

    Bridge Design Check

    I will download it as soon as I get back to the office. The real problem I am having is finding the allowable bending moments for timber members. The wood I am using is rated for under ground / water contact. BTW I have a simpler design I am working on right now that should be much easier /...

    Bridge Design Check

    Unfortunately, I do not. I will try to find some more resources on line. Does anyone know the maximum allowable bending moment on a yellow pine 6"X"6?
