Dammit man, the face and the voice seem way out of whack. He looks like my dentist, not some douche with what must be a fake or forced voice that at some point became real. You know, like when I was a kid they used to tell you that if you stuttered on purpose, eventually you'd actually stutter. Whatevs the dealio, I can't take Ferrall. He's more annoying than me, and that's saying waaay too much! <br /><br />Anywho I'm out. But one more thing. The FAIL as it is now is outta here by May.

I'm also of The Orphanage as they are now, although those 2 push the boundaries quite a bit and have a somewhat limited subject matter. That's probably more Dave Lane than Danny B.

Unless Davey is talking about a band like a junior in college, he absolutely cannot speak. I wish Cat would find a replacement for The Orphanage. It's so played out and tired. Danny's a good, but Danny would be better served paired with someone else and perhaps on a weeknight. In fact, I'd prefer to have local shows until that idiot Ferrall comes on in lieu of the Top Ten. Save the Top Ten for the 2 hours prior to The Musers, or do a Top Ten of the week and save it for Friday, having local stuff on Mon-Thurs from 7-9. <br /><br />The Ticketstock song is already driving me insane. Speaking of Ferrall, he seems to be the newest station wide butt of all jokes. It cracks me up. It also seems like there's been an uptick in the taking shots at The FAN lately.

Every time I hear that I remember a documentary I saw detailing the construction of the Petronas towers in Kuala Lumpur. They spent a significant amount of time showing engineers concocting a special CEMENT recipe in a lab to hold up to the various forces, INCLUDING WEIGHT, to which piers under these towers would be subject. They showed other, more standard cement recipes failing under significant weight, but the new formulation endured far greater weight. They used CEMENT piers under some of the tallest buildings in the world, NOT STEEL. So my conclusion is that steel, even in a helical (whatever that means) formation is probably not the best material to use for foundation repair, and probably more expensive.blergoyennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-74207239195106022762013-01-11T10:00:29.829-06:002013-01-11T10:00:29.829-06:00Ah, my dear birq, but remember: All-Pro has place...Ah, my dear birq, but remember: All-Pro has placed in writing the representation that "this pier has an almost infinite drilling depth and weight-bearing capacity." You could bolt this pier to freakin' China and perch freakin' Saturn on your roof -- same result: mathematics as we know it dictates that the helical pier cannot fail. All-Pro doesn't say that it is "theoretically impossible to fail" (i.e., your "on paper" formulation) -- they have staked the truth of mathematics itself on their promise that their pier cannot fail.The Plainsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312877844275731926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-74579941871498404122013-01-11T09:59:15.155-06:002013-01-11T09:59:15.155-06:00Interesting angle, 9:53.

To play devil's advocate, I'd take the position that "mathematically impossible" means they're hedging their bets against physical imperfections in the piers -- on paper, the pier should support twice the weight of the house, but a physical failure could happen that has nothing to do with the load or the implementation of the product.<br /><br />That said, what if your house weighs, say 20 tons, and you're an avid safe collector? You're having foundation issues, so All Pro installs their helical piers and everything is right again about your walls and doors. You happen to own 21 of the finest vintage 1-ton safes that money can buy. Does that void your warranty?birqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05766002266258702470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577236709648198825.post-9575005056889392842013-01-11T07:43:21.747-06:002013-01-11T07:43:21.747-06:00That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said...That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me.The Plainsmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09312877844275731926noreply@blogger.com
