The Ohio Random Thread... aka We Should Probably Be Working

The only new car I want right now is a 5.0 Mustang. Of course, I already drive God's gift to the automotive industry, so it is impossible for me to find a better car.
 
LOL! Love the Speed3 owners. But you gotta add "bro" to the end of every sentence, Chippy.
 
My company hasn't had a site in PA for years, and now, I am the one running all the site calcs. Compared to Ohio, PA storm water regs and sediment control regs suck ass.

Can you say 222 underground Stormtech chambers to meet recharge volumes and storm water discharge rates.
 
Ooooo, have fun with that.

At least you won't have to worry about the commuter tax.

lets be honest, the 2 states are pretty different with regards to topography... as a whole, OH is substantially flatter the PA

more hills = more requirements for storm water discharge/sediment control, and working in the civil/geotechnical side for the last 5 years i can understand many of the requirements, but will agree that some are a tad over the top haha

One hundred thirteen thousand ******* dollars for this thing!!!!! Unbelievable....
 
Even though I only made a comment about trading the Sonata today, I've been looking at options since last week, so here it is

2012-10-10_16-50-35_12.jpg


Got $1,800 for the Sonata - not bad I think considering the condition and that I only paid $50 for it. Truck is an '02 F150 XL, 4.2L V6, manual, 127K miles.
 
Congrats, Peaches! Now I know who to call when i need a pickup. Muhaha
 
pablo, you're like the winter beater car chameleon!! only had the miata one winter so far and this is your third beater!! LOL ... looks very nice though!

does anyone know how to get apart a dual reclining sofa? when it was delivered oh so long ago, it came in a few pieces. the bottom was all one piece and iirc the top back pieces were each separate and the guys that delivered it just slid the tops into place. it looks like the middle piece could just slide out but it's not budging for me. may need a whack with a mallet or a stronger tug, but does anyone have any experience or know how with this? any info would be greatly appreciated!! thanks!!

p.s. moving after being somewhere for 10 years SUCKS!!! can't WAIT till it's over!!!!!!!!!!
 
Pablo I have like 5 bags of sand from when I had a truck sitting in my garage, you are more than welcome to come get them.
 
i like it Pablo!!! very clean! ...i'm guessing you paid more than $50 for this one though! :p

$3,500, got a good deal since they hadn't been able to sell it cuz its a manual.

It doesn't quite work like that. Soils are the same, and in Ohio, we actually use a more conservative critical storm method (PA only holds each storm event to its pre-developed runoff rate) but, the big pain in the ass is the volume controls. You must contain every single drop on the 2 year storm that is above and beyond the pre developed 2-year. The recommended BMP for that would be ground water recharge or irrigation of the site with the stored water. The crazy thing is, most county conservation districts realize that recharge isn't a great option due to mostly C type soils, but they still prefer it to say, extended detention and water quality volume like Ohio uses. And if you look at the effectiveness numbers, extended detention and WQV over a 48 hour period is just as effective, if not more than trying to ground water recharge the 2 year only.

I just gota try to fit a sediment trap/sediment basin somewhere on site during construction now.

I'm sorry, I know many people love BMW and all, but for $113k, that is 3 pickup trucks, or 4 speed3's. Screw that.
