I just started on a curved stairway that has recycled oak treads. The oak came out of an old warehouse and has all kinds of interesting holes in them..pulled cut nails….iron stains. It should be interesting to look at when stained.

Prescriptive codes don't address the connection at less common angles, so base the connection off more typical ones using bolts, structural screws, blocking, and steel tension ties.

calvin: Google PRA convention. The big national get together is in Mentone, Indiana that week. I never miss it....and this year I was elected a board member. You guys want to come to Mentone and see some rotorcraft? I would be glad to have you there.
Stan
Stan, if there's only one Warsaw indiana, then you are maybe 20/30 miles to fest site.
Methinks there might be a flyover possibility.
Safer than 30 breaktimers negotiating the winding roads of that backcountry.

Calvin: Warsaw is real close. I would strongly advise a group trip to Mentone!...you will all get your eyes full of rotorcraft. Its the national convention for us. I would love to break away...and I will if I can. But Friday I have a board meeting...some center of gravity tests to run.....a forum to run.....Saturday at the airport cant be missed..... and Sunday I am headed home early.

I'm gonna pass this along to Doud and Beckman so they know what you're up to in Mentone.
Some of us are showing up for a Thursday late aftn arrival. Any chance you might "show up"?A Great Place for Information, Comraderie, and a Sucker Punch.

Calvin: At the risk of sounding like I dont want to come up there...let me explain. I look forward all year to this one event. I cant get enough of this convention....and soak up every second of it. I never get to visit with half my gyro friends and we are a close knit group. I would be more than happy to have a barage of you guys come down and show you what my favorite experience of the year.
Stan
Understand completely Stan. We get closer to the events we'll need to check out the schedule so we can catch you at an opportune time.
Thanks!A Great Place for Information, Comraderie, and a Sucker Punch.
