    What are reuirements to revalidate expired coating/lining paint material

    I think it depends on the type of material, epoxy, polyurethane, polyester, etc. Is it a 1-component or 2-component coating? How long was the original shelf-life, 6 months, 1-year or 2-years? Does the manufacturer keep retention samples for each batch that they inspected? Packaging can also make...

    Epoxy filling

    That is quite a large gap and many epoxies will generate a fairly high exothermic reaction at that thickness, resulting in either a large degree of shrinkage or even worse foaming. In order to inject the epoxy, you will want an epoxy with either a 1:1 or 2:1 ratio. Liquid epoxies will deliver...

    It came from the bathroom

    Since most smartphone apps require the ability to 'use your phone data'..., I've decided to park most of the apps on an older phone that gets used for nothing. $25/yr on a prepaid card ought to cover all the junk calls and text. Its like an all-in-one remote.

    SF Tower settlement Part III

    No, the plywood cushion was a biscuit in the middle of the ring of reinforcing exiting the top of the pile. Once the follower enters the ground, there is no changing out the cushion.

    SF Tower settlement Part III

    The self-described 'whistleblower' is wrong. Yes, plywood cushions were used but the rebar and strands exiting the top of the piles were protected by a 20 foot long follower. I'm sure it was a pain to work with in the muck. Probably why the pile driver went broke.

    If all there is at the Building Dept. is a basic plan, it was probably filed by the pool contractor. Whose name is on the submittal or filing and does it appear in the state contractor's license board?

    High rise window fail in San Francisco storm

    Without any equivocation, for once, one can actually state, "This is Trump's fault", as 555 California St. is owned in part by the Trump organization & Vornado Realty Trust.
