12/30/2023 0 Comments Stamped concrete overlay problemsWhen concrete is placed on an impervious subbase, bleed water must rise to the top because it can't exit out of the slab bottom. There is less potential for delamination if you give the surface a light steel-troweled finish or a broom finish in exterior areas where slip resistance is a concern.ĭon't finish slabs placed on impervious surfaces too early. At air contents greater than 3%, a dense, hard-troweled surface isn't necessary. Be aware that sticky mixes with higher cementitious or sand contents tend to bleed more slowly.ĭo take precautions when finishing if the concrete is air entrained. Bleeding must be completed before starting finishing operations that close the surface (Photo 4). Here are a few dos and don'ts to follow to help you avoid delaminations:ĭon't seal or close the slab surface too early. Photo 4- Postpone final finishing operations until the bleed water sheen has evaporated. Here the depth of delamination is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch. Photo 3 - The thickness or depth of a delamination can vary, depending on the mix and the timing of final finishing. Stickier mixes, thicker slabs, different types of subgrades, initial concrete temperatures, different cementitious contents, and changes in ambient temperatures all affect the bleeding process and impact when finishing should begin. However, a finisher's job to properly time final finishing can be an art because job-specific influences impact this timing on each project. Following consolidation, and once bleeding is complete, there is nothing left to be trapped to cause voids. But this may not be as easy as it sounds. The simplest way to prevent delamination is to start final finishing of the slab after the bleeding process has run its course. When finishing operations occur too early, uniformly over the slab, a delamination problem can be quite widespread and affect larger zones of a slab surface (Photos 2 and 3). They occur in areas subject to moderate to high rates of evaporation and that are finished too soon. Blisters frequently happen when relatively sticky mixes with higher percentages of fines are placed. Blisters are small, isolated delaminations usually 1 to 3 inches in diameter (Photo 1). But if it's widespread, then you have a more serious problem that should be addressed.ĭelaminations come in various forms and degrees of severity. If the delamination is isolated to just one spot, it might not affect the performance of a concrete slab. Premature finishing resulted in widespread delamination. Photo 2 - Slab placed on waterproofing membrane on roof slab. (Photo courtesy of the Portland Cement Association) Photo 1 - Side view of slab surface containing a blister. Very thin mortar layers over delaminations may even detach when struck with a hammer, as you try to sound out the extent of the delaminated area. These voids create weakened zones right below the surface that can eventually detach during slab use. As concrete hardens, subsurface voids develop where the water or air is trapped. If finishing operations start prematurely and close or seal the surface before bleeding is completed, air and/or water are trapped under the densified surface mortar. This natural settlement causes excess mix water and entrapped air to be displaced (called bleeding), and the lighter materials migrate toward the surface. When fresh concrete is placed and compacted, the solids (cement and aggregate) settle. What's been discovered is a surface delamination in the concrete floor.įind concrete contractors near me How do delaminations happen? Using the hammer to tap around this spot, you identify more hollow-sounding areas. Instead of the clear ringing sound you would expect when metal hits solid concrete, a drummy sound or loud clack draws your attention. As work from other trades continues in the area, someone drops a hammer from a ladder onto the floor, and an unexpected sound is heard. A concrete floor slab placed days ago has hardened and cured. What is Concrete Delamination and How to Prevent & Fix It Learn what causes the paste layer to separate or flake at the surface By George Seegebrecht | Updated October 6, 2021ĭelaminations in concrete slabs can be a serious problem, but often they are "heard" before they are seen.

There are three different tiers of Sprinklers, each watering a specific number of adjacent tiles. Once you reach Farming Level 2 (through farming, of course), you’ll unlock the recipe to craft Sprinklers. However, on days that it rains, you won’t need to water your crops, so be sure to check your TV regularly for the weather forecast so you can plan accordingly. You can begin upgrading the Watering Can as soon as you want, but know that upgrading tools will take two days, which means one full day you won’t be able to water your plants. As you upgrade the Watering Can, it will be able to hold more water and will water multiple tiles in straight lines, eventually watering 3×3 and 3×9 grids, instead of having to water each crop individually. Better farming through hydrationĮarly on, keeping your crops watered daily can be one of the more tiring tasks. You can choose to use Fertilizers which offer different bonuses including and increased chance of growing quality crops, give your crops a chance to stay watered overnight (cutting down on your workload), and can increase the growth rate of your crops (so they can be gathered earlier). You plant them, water them, harvest them and sell them (or use them to create other goods, then sell those). The crops themselves are relatively low maintenance. Much later, at Farming Level 9, you can obtain the Seed Maker through questing or crafting, with which you can turn most crops into seeds. You’re given some seeds early on and can purchase additional seeds from Pierre’s General Store, JojaMart, and (occasionally) the Traveling Cart, a vendor that is available in Cindersap Forest on Fridays and Sundays. Of course all of this long-term development will require money, so you want to start farming as soon as possible. Doing so can be especially difficult to do early on in-game, as you’ll still have much land clearing to do, with some debris requiring upgraded tools. This is where Stardew Planner will truly shine, as you can use it to get the exact measurements of each in-game item to make sure you’re allowing for enough room. A great way to do this is by “zoning” your farm’s layout to set a general idea of where you’ll be placing crop beds, barns, storage buildings, etc. You’ll be starting small, of course, but it’s best to have a general idea of how you want your overall farm to look, so you can gradually work towards that goal. Once you’ve made some space amidst the chaos of twigs, stumps and rocks, it’s time to start working on that layout. However, there’s certainly nothing wrong with wanting to get the most out of your experience while creating a reasonably profitable farming empire! That seemingly simple farm-life, with its daily chores and respectable hard work, has the possibility of becoming an overwhelming stress-fest if you worry too much about maximizing your farm’s output. After all, there’s a farm to run, friends to make, chores to complete, gathering to do. When you’re first getting started with Stardew Valley, it can be easy to get overwhelmed. If you happen to make fat stacks of gold in the process, that’s awesome, too. After all, that’s what the game is really all about: your choices, and how they affect the community of Pelican Town (and your own farm within). Stardew Valley is a relaxing, simple farm-life simulator in which you gradually build up your farm, forge lasting relationships and help a bunch of lovable little forest spirits called Junimos rebuild the town’s Community Center-or simply bulldoze it to make room for a storage warehouse for your local JojaMart. 12/30/2023 0 Comments Maplewood apartments ithaca voiceHowever, judging from the steel rebar sitting on the edge of the site, the concrete pours have yet to take place, and it looks like the wooden forms are just now being built on the far side of the footprint.Unlike most projects, Maplewood is basically an entire new neighborhood – there are five large apartment buildings, 21 townhouse strings, and the community center, for a grand total of twenty-seven buildings. Welliver has 236’s foundation excavated, and the steel piles are in. 236 Dryden will host 40 units and 138 bedrooms. It appears the cinder block elevator core/stairwell has been assembled as well.Ģ32 Dryden might be the more visually prominent of the two buildings, but it is also the smaller one – it will have 20 units and 53 bedrooms. The exterior walls will be assembled block by block, with new pours as rows of blocks are set in place. STREAM, the architect of The Lux, also did the Ithaka Terraces. There has been talking of making the complex net-zero energy capable, provided that the energy of an off-site solar array can be procured. These are thermally insulated plastic blocks filled with concrete – they tend to be a more expensive approach, but they also tend to have a higher grade of insulation (higher R-value), making for a more energy-efficient structure. The former Cascadilla School dorm has come down, and in its place will be two apartment buildings with 60 units and 191 bedrooms, geared towards students as most Collegetown projects are.Ģ32 Dryden, the building closer to Dryden Road, has started work on exterior framing – the partially-above grade basement level, built into the slope of the site, appears to have been framed with Amvic insulated concrete forms (ICFs), similar to those seen at the Ithaka Terraces and the Fox Blocks at the Thurston Avenue Apartments. Visum Development has teamed up with Welliver for one of the few projects not affected by the state building codes change that has left many Collegetown projects unable to move forward. There are have been some minor exterior design modifications (like the dormers in the buildings along Mitchell Street), but otherwise it’s as-approved. Fixtures, primer coats of paint, and trim pieces (moldings, baseboard) will follow. There are 27 buildings in some state of construction, from foundation work to framing to exterior facade application, and all manner of interior work from framing, to rough-ins, and for the furthest along, insulation and perhaps drywall hanging. The request for Saturday hours was approved, so with any luck, they can get to where they need to be in time for the students’ arrival at the start of August. The delays and work cancellations have been severe enough that, with the promise of less weather-prone work elsewhere, a few subcontractors opted out of their contracts – there don’t appear to be hard feelings, it’s just that crews need steady employment. The delays have mostly been weather-related the abnormally wet autumn we had really ate into the construction schedule, because among other issues, you can’t safely pour and cure concrete for foundation slabs if there’s a heavy rain risk. Normally that’s not a big deal, but because this changed a section of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), getting planning board/lead agency permission is a legal necessity. Chapter House proprietor John Hoey has given indications he would like to reopen, but it may not be here, and the first-floor retail space is still being marketed by Pyramid Brokerage.Īccording to Matt Butler at the Ithaca Times, Maplewood is running 25 days behind schedule, which forced the project team to ask the town of Ithaca for approval to work on Saturdays. Now, the question on everyone’s mind is, will the Chapter House reopen in the new building? The truth is, that question has not been resolved. Framing for the apartment building at 406 Stewart Avenue, also destroyed by the April 2015 fire, is underway. It’s pretty common to use water-resistant spray foam for modern brick construction, given that bricks absorb moisture and plywood sheathing can rot when exposed to moisture (see the Simeon’s Rebuild and DiBella’s for other examples of its use). The three-story building is fully framed, spray foam insulation has been applied to the exterior and the water-resistant underlayment has been attached to the roof. It seemed a little optimistic when a late fall or early winter opening was suggested for the replacement structure on the Chapter House site, but the new build has made good progress. The Chapter House site (400-404 Stewart Avenue) This month, we’re taking a look at Collegetown and Downtown. Here’s a construction photo gallery to peruse when you need a break from the relatives hitting the eggnog too hard. 12/29/2023 0 Comments Burn boot camp charlotte ncWe are so proud of how this partnership has grown over the years and engaged our families in cities across the country, as it truly embodies our strength in unity."įollow and on social media for posts throughout the campaign, all using #BeTheirMuscle. Thank you to Morgan and Devan Kline who connected with us through volunteering at MDA Summer Camp in Charlotte, North Carolina, and became part of our MDA family. "We are so grateful to partner with Burn Boot Camp for the "Be Their Muscle" campaign to raise awareness and funds for families and community members living with neuromuscular disease. "At the Muscular Dystrophy Association, families and communities are at the heart of our mission," said Kristine Welker, Chief of Staff at MDA. Her family shares, "Through MDA, we have had great care, met great people, and had the opportunity to show the world that muscle disease isn't stopping Brie and she is just like most kids her age and disability doesn't change that." Gabriella (Brie) Allen, who was diagnosed with congenital myopathy when she was three and a half years old, and has participated in Burn Boot Camp's "Be Their Muscle" events previously, has been able to share her story with participants, and connect with the community. The MDA family, featured in the accompanying image, is one of 300,000 families across the country supported by MDA's mission and this partnership. This partnership is a natural fit for #BurnNation and husband-wife, co-founder duo Devan and Morgan Kline, who share a deep passion for philanthropy and the relationship cultivated with the MDA. With a focus on community, Burn Boot Camp and its members recognize how fortunate they are for the opportunity to push themselves and their physical boundaries daily. "Our nation-wide community loves to come together to give back to families living with muscular dystrophy, ALS and related neuromuscular diseases, and we are excited to give back to this incredible organization." "We're honored to continue supporting the Muscular Dystrophy Association through this annual event that brings together our community and aims to empower the people MDA serves to live longer, more independent lives," said Devan Kline, Co-Founder and CEO of Burn Boot Camp.

On top of that, I also love to use the app to dictate any kind of message that I need to send, and to draft posts of episode show notes. Then I transcribe those files on my iPhone and transfer them to my computer, where I can clean up whatever flubs the transcription made and use those text files as the basis for each report. I have a fairly long commute to and from my school, and so when it gets to about a month before our reports are due, I’ll use that time to spew a bunch of thoughts into a voice file on my watch in Just Press Record. That’s where JPR, and its Apple Watch app, comes in. I tend to overcorrect if I type it first. At the school where I teach, the faculty write reports for all the students they teach, and when it comes to drafting those reports, I find it easier to dictate a first draft rather than write it. JPR started out as an occasionally helpful tool in college, when I wanted to record some thoughts and easily transcribe them later, but it’s become essential in the past two years for my work as a teacher. I depend on a bunch of apps that I call “infrastructure apps” (Hazel and Keyboard Maestro come to mind immediately), but in terms of iOS/iPadOS specifically, the two apps that help me the most in literally “producing” work are Just Press Record (JPR) and Ferrite. I can still search for the app in Spotlight, and still have a rotation of podcasts I follow, but that move out of the dock has been a big help, and I’ve also been establishing other time boundaries (e.g., no listening on weekday mornings before I go teach) and building other habits to replace and complement podcasts (music, reading, audiobooks). So I’m trying to cut down on podcast listening, and one of the big ways I’ve done that is by removing Overcast from my dock, where it used to have a prime position. But within the past year or so, I’ve realized that I spend so much time listening to other people on podcasts (I’m actually afraid to look at Screen Time stats) that I’ve stopped taking as much time to reflect on my own thoughts and make my own things. I love podcasts, especially because, like probably a lot of people, I view them as a medium that I can engage with to stay informed about topics that interest me while still being having my hands free to be productive in other ways (cooking, folding clothes, grocery shopping, those kinds of things). This is a tough one for me, and may sound odd, but even though I love using it, Overcast is the app that best fits this category for me. Personal Reading School Which app is your guilty pleasure? I try to accomplish a similar effect by setting the color of my Apple Watch face to as close a match as I can get with Apple’s standard color watch faces. That’s partly why I’ve dedicated the top left portion of my iPhone and iPad Home Screens to a color-coded Widgetsmith text widget with the name of whatever Focus Mode/context I’m in.Įven though that widget arguably isn’t as “functional” as an app icon or other more interactive widget type, the benefit I derive from having that textual reminder really drives home the reason that I’m using the device and how I’d like my intention directed at that time. I also like using color as a general reminder of context, and it’s part of how I set up my Calendar app and something I think about when assigning colors to tasks, lists, and backgrounds. Using that feature, I’ve been able to construct an individual Home Screen for each of the major parts of my life, and the three most common: Personal, Reading, and School. Relatedly, Focus Modes have become a major part of my Home Screen philosophy this past year year, especially since Apple started allowing users to tie specific Home Screens to specific Focuses (Foci?) in iOS and iPadOS. Now, I search for and launch most apps with Spotlight on my iPhone and iPad, and because of that, I’ve set up my Home Screens to give glanceable information, offer quick access to essential apps, and to help nudge me into a certain mode. I used to fill my Home Screens with folders and icons and utilize it as a launchpad for all my apps. Right off the bat, when making this post, I realized that the way I’ve used my Home Screen has substantially changed over the past couple of years.

They are a language in themselves, with a capacity to transcend cultures and construct collective identities between people. They are arguably the wallpaper of our social media feeds and often provide us with a few minutes of idle, amusing fodder for procrastination during our day.īut memes also have a serious side, according to researchers looking at modern forms of communication. On the surface, internet memes are a ubiquitous source of light entertainment – a way for people to express themselves through cleverly remixed templates of text, images and videos. Through the use of this translinguistic homophone, women in China were able for a time to share their stories and spread the word about the #MeToo movement within a country that can be highly suspicious of organised social movements. As an image it looks innocuous enough, but when the words for the two seemingly unrelated subjects are said aloud, the true meaning becomes clear – they are pronounced "mi tu". In China, where state censorship saw hashtags related the campaign being blocked, internet users had to find an alternative to coordinate the movement in their country. "Rice bunny" (米兔), as this collection of images and emojis are known, emerged in 2018 as part of the global #MeToo movement among women to expose sexual harassment. But in China, where these images have been circulating on social media, they carry a deeper, and more serious meaning. To most of the world they are just amusing pictures of an adorable cartoon bunny sitting beside, or sometimes inexplicably amidst, a bowl of rice. 12/29/2023 0 Comments Cbd honey sticks gold beeIn fact, studies have shown that consuming a small amount of organic honey daily can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Organic honey has anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and antioxidant properties which make it ideal for treating respiratory issues, digestive problems and skin conditions such as acne and eczema.Īdditionally, organic honey can help boost your immune system, reduce allergies and even aid in weight loss.
