In reality, you won’t get low pay as long as your new career/job is still related to your background. But it may be a risk in many aspect if you completely jump into a new career.
It’s a risk because it’s not just what one person wants at this age. It’s also about family, personal goal/life, career achievement, salary, value, time, etc. Above all,…[Read more] -

Jay, Not sure where you got the Permaloc prices, but Permaloc’s edging tends to be equal or less than steel. Especially for residential. Call the Permaloc offices and they should help you out.

No problem, Craig. We know we are not the solution for every designer on every job. We just try to make the highest quality products for as many varied applications as we can, so when the designer does need edging, he knows where to turn.
Thanks for all of your valuable input to the discussion. -

Edging will also keep grass from growing into the bed area, as well as keep mulch from migrating into the grass. Everything in it’s place!

A quality edging will maintain the designer’s original intent. Each time a bed area is edged by hand the size and shape of the bed is altered by some degree. After years of hand maintenance the lines the designer originally drew won’t look the same.

Aluminum is a much better product, overall than either plastic or steel. Aluminum won’t rust, rot, or breakdown. It is lightweight, flexible, easy to work with. It is safer, with a rounded bead on top and locking stakes.
Important to remember that all aluminum edging is not created equal though. Certain manufacturers make it to thin, and use o…[Read more] -
Daniel Martin replied to the topic Where to start with LEED? in the forum GENERAL DISCUSSION 10 years, 7 months ago
Not to be picky, but you are actually looking to become LEED accredited, not certified. LEED certifies buildings and accredits people.
Having said that, I am a LEED AP and the process is fairly simple. You can do it in one step, taking two tests at once to be an AP, or in two steps, becoming a GA first and then an AP later.
