My first job out set me straight, though- quickly realized that my job was to make the site work as intended (in that case, school grounds), not push unnecessary agendas.  I’ve been fortunate enough to find plenty of work, and now that I’m in the r…[Read more]

Try to get a job doing something relatively close to either of the fields, save some money, travel, and think about it for awhile…no need to hurry…seriously

The concrete will be stained, curb/ring around firepit masonry to match house, etc.- the finish details have been discussed, more interested in ideas to help make it work effectively at this point, not look pretty (but thanks for the recommendations).

My concern lies in problems with a first version software on a specific operating system…it seems to me (at least on a PC) that this rarely works well w…[Read more]

I’m not completely sold on the speed table idea; in fact, a painted crosswalk might end up doing the trick. Speed humps/tables have been considered because of…[Read more]

If 6″ curbs are a must, explore the possibility of using curb cuts at regular intervals or where it makes sense….the cuts will still allow runoff to enter the depression. Clay soils? Maybe grade soil towards a central trench/basin filled with gravel. Put an underdrain at the bottom of the gravel and follow Charles’ suggestion of piping…[Read more]
