Alan Ray, RLA

Thanks Dennis, I’ll give it a look-see.

Or low cost…seems $30. an hour is the going price….

Andrew, I bought a D size HP T120 a few months ago directly from HP online….
It cost about $1,000. They even did 0% Financing.
I have been very pleased with it. Check it out.

if you’ll google wood gates and fences you will find hundreds of good and bad ones to choose from….

is plastic  like treated wood  toxic?
don’t want to grow my food in any kind of artificial container….
client should be told that there are wood materials that are natural and non-toxic.

I’ll check that out.
Thanks Craig.

it seems to be a set up issue with scale….
thanks for the suggestion but it’s wack with any font.

You are correct, Sir!
 
 

…and they are still ugly!
 

My seal in Tennessee, where I do most of my work, says “Registered Landscape Architect”.
So, I use RLA for that reason.
I could care less what ASLA wants….

Oh, and they’re ugly too.

they installed the pavers upside down…..
this is not as easy as landscaping, green side up.

I have heard that  a thousand times……most buildings should be hidden from view I say.

another cheap shot at Southerners…
Try this as a progressive idea:
Mississippi was the first state in the USA to establish a State supported College for Women.
Would that be considered a progressive idea?
 

I need a new plotter.
I’ve used a hp designjet 100 for many years and have been very happy with it.
However, it has been put out to pasture due to old age…..
Is there a better plotter than the HP T-120 in the $1,000. range?
I don’t need a high volume printer, just one that is reliable like my old one.
Any suggestions?

I’ll just add this. I’ve been out of school since ’74. I worked for 15+ years where everything was hand drawn.
In the early 90’s I had to learn cad or I would not be able to do projects with A/E firms in the area…so, old dog, new trick…it was difficult at first but later I caught on and now do a fair job with it.
Now, I still hand draw all m…[Read more]

thanks Henry, maybe I’ll get it finished one day. the website that is….
and most days I don’t wear a tie….

That’s funny, I was just now listening  to “Time Machine” by Grand Funk RailRoad….
Talk about a rockin album! I can’t believe those guys are not in the Rock-N-Roll Hall of Fame.
So, yes, I totally endorse Time Machine for all Ya’lls ills……
