Vapor Barriers and Curling
Part 1
The proper location of the vapor barrier under a concrete slab has been debated for many years. Today, most experts advise putting it in direct contact with the bottom of the slab.

Vapor Barriers and Curling
Part 2
There was a strong response to my post last week about the proper place to locate a vapor barrier membrane. One good argument made against placing concrete directly on a vapor barrier was the decreased friction on the bottom of the slab due to the barrier leads to differential widening of the joints.

Skil Saw turns 75
When you use your worm-drive or circular saw (sidewinder), have you ever wondered how these portable saws came about? Well, I have, so I spent some time turning over stones looking for the answers. It's both intriguing and interesting at the same time. In fact, I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall at that time to have seen the whole event come together.

The results of a government study
For the past three years, the
government has worked hard and spent many tax dollars to find the approval ratings for unemployment.
They have concluded that a 7% unemployment level is acceptable to 93% of the working population.
Now let's just hope that the unemployment rate doesn't change.
