I'm impressed. Taylor

As an architect, I am expected to know quite a bit about how buildings go together, but I could not take over for the electrical, mechanical, or structural engineers. Architecture involves fitting all of the different pieces together, and to do that, I have to be able to intelligently discuss...

Well, you know what they say: An engineer knows a lot about a one thing, an architect knows a little about many things. If only architecture schools taught more than design. I have yet to see a school that acknowledges all of the components that make up buildings today and how they fit...

Hmm, not an engineer, but I work them all the time. I’m an architect. I’m sure that plenty of engineers have cursed my name. What do you mean that you can’t make the building stand up without extra walls and columns?!? I am not changing my design. Just make it work. You want to...

Very cute! And travel sized for your convenience.:D Taylor

Thank you. I'm such a computer idiot that I didn't realize I had to erase the disk first. I had thought that I could just add to it. Your method worked. thanks, Taylor

I have a stupid question for all of you computer savvy people out there. I have a Mac G-5 and have been trying to save info to rewritable CDs on it. I can burn a CD once, but after that, it will not let me modify the disk. Is there a setting/button/menu that I have to modify to allow me to...

This is a question for the North Carolina pilots on the board (all two or three of you :D). My parents live in Raleigh and my mom recently told me that she is no longer going to continue training towards her Instrument Rating. Apparently, she scheduled a plane every Saturday and Sunday for...

One of the nice things about living in a condo in the relatively mild San Francisco East Bay climate is that my utility bills stay constant year round – about $30 a month. This is partly because my building has radiant floor heating and the woman upstairs leaves her heat cranked up all the...

It's not as bad as you might think. My husband and I worked out an amicable method of one person flies up and one back. We try to alternate who gets to land at the different airports we visit so one person doesn't log only the Loc/DME into our home 'drome. Plus, it sure is nice having a...

I logged around 100 hours last year. The two months where the Arrow was in the shop for pre-purchase were the hardest - I couldn't rent a plane because we needed to put the money towards the purchase of our plane. Two months of gorgeous summer weather and I was grounded. :( But I have been...
