Thank you Steve, likewise on your creations!
I've been fortunate to have a local artist grace several of my projects with her fine creations. This is an outdoor prep and cooking area on a house I built using reclaimed lumber and a local scene as the inspiration for a backsplash.

I've never seen them before. I spend all my time watching solo climbing rig videos and arguing their merits here with the likes of you:) The videos look useful and worthwhile, thanks for the heads up Hj!

^^^ That's funny - the real pros so often want nothing to do with their trade after 5:00.
I've watched a few Matt Risinger vids - worth watching, as he's reasonably articulate and experienced - but also seems like the kind of guy that can get anything done with an unlimited budget - which begs - who can't? So, who is his audience? Not much there for me. The guy who can take a pile of dog crap and turn it into a Rembrandt is more my type.

Hey, Contractor...that's a nice mural. Is it tile? Or painted? Hard to tell from the pic.

F does the actual work and on some challenging projects.
We demolished a bad 80's hardscape to dirt on this existing house and put it back together. The steel trellis has 2x8 Ipe rafters.

Nice use of space Wilbeer. To be stained?
Those are proper tables Jim but how much time did you spend staring at the truss and knee brace roof supports?

A really interesting Risinger video on a Swiss manufactured home with no glue, no screws, and no nails (and it's not log cabin-style or post & beam joinery).

New Cali energy requirements from a one of our Title 24 consultantsSent: Wednesday, January 16, 2019 2:30 PM
Subject: 2019 Energy Code
Just in case you've been hiding out for the last year, this is an early reminder to all you architects and builders that if you are planning on building a project soon, make sure you submit before the end of the year.
The new 2019 energy code goes into effect Jan 1, 2020 and it makes all the other changes look like minor tweaks.
Aside from the items below, alot of items that have previously been used to get credits will go away as they become required.
Residential (new ground up construction that has three habitable stories or less from grade):
1. The installation of solar photovoltaics will become mandatory.
There are a few exemptions, such as buildings with minimal roof space due to a narrow envelope, zero lot area, or if there are tall buildings or other obstructions like protected tress blocking solar production.
2. New HERS (Home Energy Rating System) testing for:
a. Kitchen exhaust hood ventilation test, which must provide 100CFM at 3.0 Sones
b. Blower door test if utilizing a continuously running exhaust fan (hello IAQ fan) per Section 150.0(o)1E,
c. Quality insulation installation (QII) will be Prescriptively required.
d. HVAC systems will need to be designed closer to ACCA Manual J, D, & S which means duct sizing may increase, return air sizing may increase, and equipment sizing may decrease. There will need to be enough plenum space to ensure ducts are not smashed or pinched. Filter ratings will increase to MERV 13
3. Domestic hot water solar preheat will become Prescriptively required:
a. 20% net solar fraction in Climate Zones 1-9,
b. 35% net solar fraction in Climate Zones 10-16.
Non-Residential (Includes new multi-family four stories or more from grade)
1. Interior windows and doors leading to unconditioned space will have minimum Prescriptive U Factors.
2. Demand controlled ventilation (DCV): CO2 monitors will help control outside airflow.
3. The Prescriptive requirement for domestic solar hot water is being removed. Projects that install such systems will receive a major boost to whole building performance.
I will follow up with more specifics in the weeks to comes as more information become available.
Good luck to you all.. Say hello to $350 a square foot.

Yeah,no kidding contractor.Too bad,really,they have the money.
Less than 10% of my work requires a permit.My Insurance Company will not allow more than that.
Audits work.

Yep Flip Flop, the very high end stuff is expected to be well North of $350 but I feel like an as#@&%e when I quote $325 to a middle class family.
The flip side is that Cali has the balls to get real on global warming.

The possible larger ducting requirement will be interesting. Every tinner I know always needs more space for there current sized ducting. Hopefully architect's get this memo and provide proper chasing. I doubt it but a guy can dream. lol
