You cannot repair that. Brushed concrete runs about $4 per square foot, and then factor in a cost for removing the old concrete.

When it was solid and stranded mixed, would always loose twist the solid wires, wind in the stranded and have it longer than the solid pair...when finishing the twist it tightens up holding the stranded. Single solid...and single stranded, ugh..

I remember a trip to Hiroshima in the late 80s and seeing the wrought iron railings melted like plastic under a blow torch, and shadows etched in concrete

It's always legal to film in public space, it's also legal to take photos of a house from a public space. What is illegal is to use the camera to peer inside, i.e., zoom into any private space within the house.

Hopefully the more of this type of "breaking news", the more it becomes standard and we don't need to hear about it. I'm happy for them, and still sad that we need to have these milestones when I sent to school with some of the smartest people I've ever met, and they were all women.

I'm not anti-EV, but the basic math doesn't add up, and as soon as you point out something like this, you're a shill for big oil. Looking at a few models, Hybrid vs. EV of the same vehicle, there is still a $10K difference in price.

I think the college model we have is all about sales, and selling the college experience, when it should be about getting the skills to fill a position in business...somewhere. All the other ancillary football and basketball stuff is nice, but why am I paying for that? When the highest paid state employee is the football and basketball coach, there's a problem.

I think on America we only care about feeding the college machine. If you are in high school and don't plan on going to college, the guidance counselor has nothing for you. I went to high school in both the USA and in the UK. In the UK it's 5yrs, and in your 4th year you start going to apprenticeships a few afternoons a week where you start to learn a trade, car body repair, brocklayer, plumber, etc.. after 2yrs of that, you finish school, and they take you on as an apprentice.

You can make a good living with trades, rivaling degree programs, however, they take s toll on the body, and your earnings potential is less than with a degree.

Most likely this is required in your jurisdiction as 4" gaping has been around for years. If someone were ever at your house and their child was injured as a result, your insurance would not cover you, and if and when you sell the house, it would be found by a home inspector and you'd be required to fix it before sale.

You have to look at Cricket in Tiers. Based on performances and points, teams move up and down in ranking. The Super 8 automatically qualify, after that are qualifiers and so on. U.S.A. was in the qualification group with UAE (i think) and didn't fair too well. U.S.A. is ranked 25th, Canada 20th.
