In WA, 4' high requires fall protection.

I have run into this before. The excavator/foundation sub wants some thing that I did not feel was safe. In those cases, we almost always were contrac...

200000' shot with an edm? Does anyone know what the record is??ÿ I know they had a prism on summit for the 1992 measurement of Everest. No idea if th...

If the minimum lot size is 100 feet wide, I would suppose some might argue that you can only fit 9 in there. That is why the code should include sign...
