    Steel Joists

    I already missed it on the shops and I need to provide a seat for a another beam that is not theirs, so I just sketched something up. You're correct, caught earlier I bet they would have thrown them in no problem.

    Steel Joists

    Yes - joist seat, embedded weld plate, etc. Seems like everybody has a different name for them. I think we've been spoiled - In my experience, Vulcraft has always included them on their shop drawings. Come to think of it, that doesn't really make a lot of sense if the mason will be putting...

Make friends with your F5 key. You will also receive an email telling you that you passed (also if you failed, I suppose)...

    funny pic thread

    I really like this one. The little girl's "oh well, I guess I have to make out with Mommy now" as mommy prepares to get on all fours and pounce. Meanwhile Daddy sits facing daughter in an inappropriate manner. Is that a pipe? The little boy seems a tad upset that yet again, he doesn't get to...

    yeah, but you see gals like ol' Christina George up there, and think "she was kinda cute - if I had run into her at the right time, I could have saved her from that life" and then you go back to doing calcs....

    As Homer Simpson says, "Its funny 'cause its true" But your point is well taken. How about the nine looks no dudes should ever try to pull off? from: http://nextround.net/2009/01/20/nine-looks...y-and-pull-off/ Manpris. For when you can’t quite decide between shorts and pants. That not...

    I think the first one says 1983 - so 14 years (as calculated by my Casio fx-115MS)
