hausdok Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Hi All, Thought some of you might find this mildly interesting. Seems those in merry old England are having just as many problems with new construction as here in the colonies. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!!

kurt Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I "clicked here" & didn't get anything(?); just a message saying I was timed out or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hausdok Posted September 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Nuts! I hate it when that happens. Sorry. I think I've got it fixed now. I tested it from a couple of different identities and it seems to go through. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottpat Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I love that word "Snags"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusty Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Good grief. I dare say if that stuff is what they are finding, either they don't know their snag from a hole in the ground or their workmanship is great compared to ours. Pretty insignificant stuff for the most part, easily found by even a blind snagger. If that's indicitive of their construction problems they are light years ahead of us.

Don't you just hate it when they forget to caulk the architraves? By the way, what the hell does, "Pipes not lagged in roof void areas" mean? - Jim Katen, Oregon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Pipes not fastened or supported in the attic/crawlspace/roof void. I think I like that term. I'm gonna start saying "roof void" as much as I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusty Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 I want to use architraves in conversation. How does one pronounce that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 PRONUNCIATION: ärk-i-trav The little marks wouldn't copy. Short a, short i, long a. ark like "boat", i like "it", trav like "rave". At the cocktail party @ last nights soiree, I managed to use "roof void" 3 times; everyone backed away slowly..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusty Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 I think you could chalk it up as a positive experience Kurt. They didn't panic and run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
