    Suggestions for starting your own consulting firm

    You don't need business cards either.  I wouldn't worry about legal or accounting until you make a sale.

    Gator at Disney

    Wife was born/raised in Miami and she said the same thing "if it's water, it has gators".  We started looking at some houses thinking of moving to Florida and if it was anywhere near a manmade lake or water it was a no-go.  Truly tragic event either way.

    ABET - why do they restrict accreditation of Masters programs?

    Well I had to jump through hoops getting my license in Illinois since they require a Bachelor to be ABET accredited.  Since University of Louisville at the time only the Master degree was accredited my license was denied so that was the issue for me.  I also believe it's an issue when people...

    Suggestions for starting your own consulting firm

    Yes I use a metric but it isn't based off of time.  If I have ways of doing things (through things created, processes, etc) that lowers the time it takes me to do something if I charge on an hourly basis I would end up making less money.  I'd argue that engineers are not a commodity and we...

    Suggestions for starting your own consulting firm

    I wouldn't bother.  You don't know if anyone wants what you have to sell and they won't be buying based off of a logo or a website.  If you want a business cards go on fiverr and have someone make you one.  My sister in law did all my stuff. I wouldn't bother with legal, financial, etc.  until...

    Muhammad Ali Dies at Age 74

    Obviously a huge thing here.  City will probably be shut down on Friday for his memorial service at the arena and the funeral procession through the city.

    Home Improvement/Repair Questions

    So I ended up installing a trench drain on the side of the house where we had the most problems and burying the sump discharge and downspouts in separate pipe away from the house. While we haven't had any rain since then, but my sump pump hasn't run since it was installed (it would run every 2...

    NFL 2016

    Petrino never coached Michael Vick.  He's also a massive control freak which is the other reason his personality doesn't work for the NFL.

    Mortgage Providers

    Let us know how it goes. I don't know why but getting a mortgage through online only troubles me for some reason.  I know it's not founded in anything but for whatever reason I still like my brick and mortar.

    Sealing documents using DWF

    Anyone sign and seal documents as DWF?  I've always printed the drawings to PDF then use Bluebeam or Adobe to use my digital signature/seal then flatten everything prior to sending out.  I have a client asking for DWF with stamp and signature and I'm just not familiar with it.  I asked the state...

    Load Calcs, software, etc

    Yeah they have simulations to keep the same building and allows you to change different variables to compare.  I was hoping for the "easy" button.

    Load Calcs, software, etc

    So i've been playing around with Equest and I've built a model for a completed building.  So this building was designed and built not using a model or anything, is there anyway to compare what was designed and installed vs ASHRAE 90.1-2001?  Is there a button for that or do I make changes to the...
