hausdok Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Seattle, WA TIJ's mission is to offer free information and assistance to all home inspectors, regardless of professional affiliation or time in the business. Most visitors think of TIJ is only an inspectors' forum site when there are many more features than just the forums. We have a constantly growing links directory, there's a live chat board, calender of events and book reviews, to name a few. One of the most under-used areas of this site is the downloads area. We spend a lot of time on the internet searching various sites for data and information that inspectors can use to become better inspectors and enlarge their personal reference library. Today, TIJ is proud to offer the first in a series of U.S. Army engineering publications. These are public domain documents that deal with carpentry, masonry, utilities, electricity, plumbing, soils engineering, etc., and can be downloaded directly from TIJ's downloads archives. The first, FM 5-426 (Carpentry) is available now. To download your own copy of this extensive basic guide to wood frame construction, click here. To download future offerings as we add them to the downloads library, go to the Resources button at the top of TIJ's home page, click on downloads, scroll to the document that you want and then open or save the file to your computer. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike O'Handley, Editor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Very nice. My wife won't understand why I'm reading it, but I'm going to muddle through tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Just finished looking through the concrete one. It's excellent. Hard Rod and Re-Rod Erect Tooling a joint Bedding Compacted Impacted Mesh Wet Moisten Lay Place All technical terms taken out of context... I'm skipping the wood construction one for now or I'll get all worked up. I'm saving plumbing for last. Nipple, male, female, petcock (I had a petcock but ran away?) ball valve, emergency stop, union, coupling... I can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian G Posted June 11, 2005 Report Share Posted June 11, 2005 Somehow from that last post I get the sense of a thirsty camel in the middle of a big, big desert. Around here we call that "married".
