I'm thinking that John B has just lost his claim to the most ass-backwards state in the country. It's new construction and the entire subdivision was done this way.

Brandon Whitmore Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 You can't use the sidewalk anyways; that trucks blocking it. But seriously-- never seen anything like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 The architect doesn't get out much. Never tried to walk a dog on a leash, or push a baby buggy or ride a trike down a sidewalk. Or tried to stagger home in the wee hours of the AM. Hope somebody's handing out helmets. [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgbinspect Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Somehow, there's a probably a GREEN explanation for this, like never having to weed whack around the light posts - trillions saved in future weed whacker fuel! Yeah, that's the ticket. (And, the architect loathes those who text while walking...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc I won't easily relinquish my state's title, but that wouldn't fly here due to the Americans with Disabilities Act.

Nolan Kienitz Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Maybe part of a new mandatory healthcare initiative. It can test coordination, as you have to step around to get past or it could be part of an overall planned obstacle course for the neighborhood.

Tom Raymond Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Kurt said it best the other day, "I guess if anyone is allowed to build, then anyone will." That just may be my new favorite quote. Well, it's near the top. This is still my favorite, " I am good at writing but I don't plan on doing to much of it since I am also a tech geek so I will type everything."

Out in West Dundee, near the river. Foods OK, if the place is still there. The restaurant was for sale, that's how I got to see it. My guy didn't buy, so who knows?

But after a month, sometimes two? No matter what I say, they just glare at me with expressions that make The Evil Eye seem warm and inviting by comparison.

Click to Enlarge 92.64 KB Click to Enlarge 96.34 KB Click to Enlarge 76.57 KB Major thread drift but those photos got me. . . . I'm trying to figure how to seal the tree penetration through the roof of the tree house I'm building. Kurt, can you remember the details--is that just a bunch of goop sealing the roof deck to the trunk? Did they allow room for growth of the trunk and if so, how much?
