TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Testing is only a snapshot in time... so getting a test 2-3 days before going to thanksgiving at granny’s house is only so effective. Unless you are rapid testing people out in the driveway, (even then, there are false negatives) there isn’t a fool proof way to have gatherings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 The deaths are coming. The rise has already begun, and we'll probably be at an average of 1000 deaths per day in a couple weeks or so. It only goes up from there. The thing about it is that what may start out as an outbreak among the young doesn't stay there. This happened in the southern wave in the summer and it will creep into older/ more vulnerable populations this time too, aided by new factors such as kids returning home from college and holiday gatherings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People couldn’t behave themselves so it stays off the wx side. Ya’ll can go discuss it on Ampol or somewhere else. I’m not a fan of censorship but this is a wx forum and we’ve always been strict about keeping politics off the wx side. The covid thread was an exception...and then it ultimately proved why we keep politics out of here. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagreed with you guys eliminating the Covid thread earlier this year and still disagree that the moderators don't want any posts on a subject of science. I understood that the old post veered into politics which is more subjective. Perhaps after next week when the election will be over we could bring back discussion on this important topic that affects all of us and could become really bad over the next couple of months. I found the New England discussion of Covid was a great resource as we have many intelligent people on this forum. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lava Rock Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Getting a prefab garage on Friday. Had to bring in a lot of fill for the garage to build up the land to level. I'm a bit concerned about the back side and sides where heavy rain could cause significant washout. Not sure what could be done to prevent that. We will seed some grass around sides of garage in Spring, but don't think seed would take hold on the slope sections of fill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you already have a compactor go over it? I hope so. I'd be mindful over time with placing heavier than usual items on the downhill side. We needed to store some particularly heavy items in the garage for about 6-8 months one year and sadly choose the downhill side. After they were all cleared out, we saw the cracks that had formed. This lead to predictable issues and maintenance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garage will be 14x24'. It'm pretty sure that we weren't dealing with any steeper of a grade on the far side. Ours is a two car garage with a good sized upper story so bigger than yours. We definitely had the compactor equipment going over it for quite a while - I remember the racket that it made. Consider either talking to the Extension Service or your local feed store for quick sprouting cover mixes. You're close to the ocean and depending on the elevation / exposure, you might be able to get something to grow. That also looks like pretty poor soil which will make it more of challenge.

Baroclinic Zone Posted October 25, 2020 Author Share Posted October 25, 2020 Your asking for problems of the site wasn’t prepared properly. You should have brought the fill in lifts and had each lift compacted prior to moving on to the next one. Over time that non-compacted fill will settle and your garage will be on an uneven base. Could lead to issues with the garage structure in the future. Doesn’t help that you also live in an area prone to temperature extremes. You’re going to be prone to larger frost heaving with the non compacted soil as it will allow more moisture to penetrate into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say.... when you’re building up like that, you can’t really skip any steps, because it’s going to settle unevenly over time.
