Barndominiums these days are being recommended for hurricane wind loads.  115mph seems to be their baseline.  Different hits say 130 as the standard wind load & some have said 140.  They need a 30 deg roof pitch & pier foundation going 40" underground.  Windows & doors have to be rated for higher forces.

ICF insulated concrete forms are also being recommended.  Lion parents had an ICF house with a wood roof.  Lions 1st saw concrete construction in Fl*rida.


It had thousands of prefabricated, interlocking blocks. Most concrete houses are made of cinderblocks.  Nothing in Calif* is made of concete.  It's all wood.




 

The normal method for houses is to create a form out of insulation & rebar, pouring concrete in the field.  The total thickness is 1ft.  It seems to be 8" concrete, 4" of insulation.  All the plumbing, wires, go in the 2" of insulation.  Only the outer wall is ICF. 

There's a series on an ICF build.

At this point, barndominiums don't have any cost advantage except for spanning large indoor spaces.  ICF with a steel roof would be the way.

1998-1999, before the view was obstructed by concrete, was definitely the happy time.  Come 2000, change was in the air. 


Lions should have taken more photos.  It was unjustifiably seen as too expensive.


Sep 22, 1999 had the 1st video captures.  It seems to be the beginning of the excavation.

Old lion needs to pack a phone tripod more often.  Photos other than documentation seem to be lacking for the last 15 years.

No experiences with post tib tendinitis either, in 1999.




East european hottie recommended not loading the tendon at all.  Lions went nowhere but downhill when they tried that.  The only thing which restores it has been keeping it moving.  Lions don't always load it when standing, but they do keep it moving.

 What lions think is happening is index funds are earning interest on large treasury positions.  They're putting the interest into stonks to manetain a constant allocation.  It's not millennials pouring money in the stonk market expecting lower interest rates. High interest rates are pushing up stonks like the 90's.  Millennials are taking money out of the stonk market to buy houses & pay their mortgages.  Important reminder that lions would only barely get by & be fairly unhappy if they retired now, drained their savings to buy a house, & couldn't afford a lot of things they hoped to have.  Lions don't expect to have the coordination required to play it, when the time comes.  Maybe they could just play chords.  Would definitely have to learn how to tune it & regulate it. If lions didn't have to buy a house, things would be better. 40 years ago, bonds were called fixed income because the standard method was to use interest as a source of income i

 Don't kid yourself.  US is a 1 party system.  Unless something is drastically wrong with the 1 campaign, they always vote democrat.  Even as bad as H-Rod was, they still voted for her. Ordering renters to provide $25,000 subsidies to new home owners is basically ordering them to pay what was an entire down payment 20 years ago.  Surely if they could afford these entitlements for home owers, they would have bought houses themselves.  They formerly required the high school dropouts to pay $50,000 in student loan forgiveness to Harvard graduates. Calif* requires renters to provide a $150,000 subsidy to new home owners or about the total cost of a house 20 years ago.    Amerikans just want the Calif* way of life for all.  If you don't like how wealth is redistributed from poor to rich in Calif*, you're not going to like the rest of US. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reviewing past stonk po

 Anyways, the next idea was revising the GUI to get rid of the drop shadows, decorations.  The modern trend is flat colors, but the trends have to change every 6 months for these corporations to stay in business. 1 idea that looked good was an apply button in the file dialog which would allow loading files from a bunch of directories or picking 1 file at a time without closing the window.  The trick is most files require building an index.  The file dialog would have to be frozen during the load process or it would have to be locked out of loading again.  It would be a functional but unpleasant experience. The biggest win right now would be repositioning the plugins to the top when there isn't an asset. The lion kingdom considered applying to FUTO for a grant.  The problem is there are so many forks, so many animals who expect a cut even if their contribution never worked, so many animals who would expect a cut for a feature idea in the future which they may or may not ever creat
