Thanks All,

I have been learning and arguing on and off on this forum for over four years now. The thanks I owe are more than I can count.

Some of you may be interested to see some of my art.

It’s mostly Northern Virginia, Annapolis and The District (Washington DC), with a little West Virginia and western Virginia.

I hope you enjoy them.

Flickr is a great place to share your photos. Last saturday they were showing a count of the uploads, and was 45,000 per minute.

Those are great - Thanks for posting the link. Somebody in the family has an eye for this stuff. The pictures almost go through too fast...

I wonder... Is there a technique in the order you show them that enhances the content. Say like water, flower, city, water, flower city, etc…?

Very nice indeed. You sure do show the beauty of your country. Is this a hobby, a job or a bit of both?

I'll break it down to some smaller ones tonight and reposted multiple links.

Thanks Ken for the heads up.

Plus if you move the mouse over it you can stop it and go to the root where all of the shot reside.

Thank you for the compliment,

It's just a hobby, I used to make TV in a former life, now I just take stills and try to find some beauty.

Very good eye Joe. My wife has been into photography since she was a teenager so I'm around picture taking all the time and your photographs are really good. It's one thing to take a picture but it's quite another to see the world in frames and know what to take pictures of. Good job.

Thanks Shane,

A large part of shooting, or any art for that matter, is to have others enjoy it.

Rich, this is supposed to be a polite converstaion about photography. I will be happy to defend hunting on any other battlefield you prefer.

By the way I would realy enjoy seeing some other's shots as well.

It's wonderful to have you around Rich, just as I was beginning to miss Col, you step in an brighten my day :D

OK, I'm going to put the file size limit thing to the test and see if I can upload a pic I took at Lossiemouth, just to prove that it's not just an RAF base. LOL, if I can figure this new fangled thing out, OMG old age certainly doesn't come itself.

Rich, Are you a vegetarian? Do you wear leather shoes, or any other leather items?

If you eat mmeat or wear leather then remember some-one has to kill the animal before you eat or wear it.

OK, that seemed to work, so I'll try a couple more. Please remember, I'm not a photographer, I don't use SLR technology or anything, point and shoot (yes Rich I said it, and I'm not using a Taurus either lol).

Thank you, but I wish I could take all the credit but I just pressed the button. If there is a god, I think he was paying particular attention when he created Scotland.

I eat whatever I can find

Rubber only, leather's too rough:cool:

Didn't they teach English as well, oh and as a side note I've posted many images on this forum over the last ten years, however thanks to the efforts of an idiot they're no longer here and at this moment in time I've no enthusiasm to start again, your pics are ok though;)

Actually I have a true learning disability when it comes to spelling. I can still do multi-digit square roots in my head, but I can’t remember how to spell the simplest words.
We all have our strengths and weaknesses.

So let's have some camera facts

I've had both way back in my youth:o

Good memory eh? I'm impressed!

Good memory eh? I'm impressed!
I can remember things I did when I was three, I just can't remember things I did three minutes ago:confused::D

So let's have some camera facts

First a plug for Yahoo and their www.flickr.com (http://www.flickr.com) web site. That place is really well managed, and everyone I know, that uses it, loves it. Some people use it as a safe back up for all of their photos.

If you follow the links back to the photos themselves you will find information about the shot, the camera and its settings.

The first 200 or so were shot with a Canon 30D with a Tamron AF 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 XR Di VC for EOS Lens

After that I lost access to that camera and was forced to resort to using my Fujifilm FinePix S5200.

I’ve played around with the setting and I’m pretty much getting all I can get out of it.

It’s extremely slow and the color depth is lacking compared to the Canons.

My next Camera is going to be a Canon 50D with the same lens as before.

I can remember things I did when I was three, I just can't remember things I did three minutes ago:confused::D

I had such a witty reply to that, but I'm afraid it's gon... :o

Oops, sorry Rich, before you start throwing the toys out the pram, here's your "E" for the end of the gone. Sorry, I did have it, but just forgot to put it in there :D

I took the liberty to look at some of your other albums - Is that bar with all the custom wood work the same stuff you posted pictures of on a woodworking project a while back? I thought I remember you posting pictures of a woodworking project you were working on...

Wow - That turned out great! Is that in your basement?!?

Thank you Ken,

That was the last job i did before closing my shop, the pictures really don't show all the details, we didn't light it, we just shot some photos. I under bid it by $45,000 to $50,000, so it was the death knell of my woodworking business.

So the pictures in the album were of the complete project? If you don't mind me asking what the total job paid and what should it have paid?

It is amazing. Your pub is about as big as my house lol! Very well done though. I don't get the "under bid" thing though? Do you mean you went that much over budget? If so, I'm sure Edinburgh council can arrange a few contracts for you, they'd be pleased with anything less than a couple of million over budget.

Ken also made a fantastic job of his house, ask him to let you see the pictures!

You are deliberatly trying to confuse me now aren't you? :D

It paid $40,000 but depending on local conditions it should be between $80,000 and $100,000

The woodwork hard maple; complying with in level 4 Architectural Millwork, which means no surface fasteners, blemishes kept below certain sizes, etc, etc,

The finish is rated level 4 for appearance and rated to level 3 for durability.

The entire job was prefinished in the shop and installed on site using blind fasteners and glue.

We also provided the tile floors in the bar are.

That was a for-hire job I did a little while ago. Underbidding broke me.

That's a great pity though, to achieve such a wonderful job and have it bite you in the back side like that.

I went on to designing homes full time for the next 2 years, it’s a wonderful journey, one thing ends, another begins.

You must have been tinkering with wood for a while to do that level of work.

Here's a link to the pics of our home that we moved into last year. We moved in too late in the fall to do much landscaping. That's next on my honey do...



I have few more pics. I'll see if I can find them and update the photobucket site with them...

Good for you! So you don't do that anymore, you now design databases?

You know in the Tarot we have a saying that there are no endings only new beginnings. Of course sometimes the series of events that bring about those new beginnings can appear to be devastating, but a new beginning is always on the horizon.

Nice home Ken, and they built it with rafters, very cool. You’ll enjoy that attic space.

Great house Ken,
Build with lameply and wood cover ? How do you heat the house when temps are getting below 40 F ?

This is how we do it in France ( extension build recently, left side of pic ) :

These are really great pics Joe.
Didn't know you were playing a gibson :

Thanks Ron,

No I don't play, that's Mike's, a really good friend of mine. Mike and I used to build thing together and since construction is down he needed to sell that guitar. I got the shot for a keep sake.

Now that' s really a pity. The Les Paul's are brilliant guitars, especially those from before 1982.

Here's mine ( well not a gibson, but an European version of it ) :

I love the house but why did you start with a fully built one and then demolish it? :D

Thanks Ron. The first layer is called OSB. Basically 4'x8' sheets of compressed wood chips. Then the siding is referred to as hardie plank. It a cement based product that will not or decay like conventional wood products. As far as heating we have a heat pump that is supposed to be the most efficient means to heat down to the 30-40s Below that a gas back up kicks in.

So do you have Home Depot in France :confused::D

We're having odd April weather this morning. Snow flurries this morning with temps in the low 30's this morning and tomorrow morning. Then wed it's supposed to shoot back up into the 70s :eek:

Yep, I know that material. I built a sound studio recently and added lameply ( water resistant OSB) on the floor.
See attached.

No , the house is build with bricks with stucco over it.

Good news folks, we can just throw out the IRC 2006, Rich has reentered the building.

Virginia has, for the most part, adapted the IRC 2006 code book as the basis for the new state wide building standards. Most American, British, European, and Japanese residential building codes are based on the same book.
Now if you want to discuss commercial building design; as of 2005 or ’06, 49 of the tallest new buildings in the world, were designed by American architectural firms.

Just curious Joe, have you ever used SkecthUp fo any of your design work?

Who really cares who did the buildings outside an interesting tid-bit of forum jabber. You act like your using the info to make a career decision on whether to become an architect :p

Don't you have some paint to watch dry Ken? I could borrow you some, it may keep you more entertained :D

Oh dear. I think this has gotten a bit out of hand now. Perhaps you should both take a deep breath and think carefully before you make any further comments.

Nah - Based on your past I'd say you were simply out to discredit the statement ;)

And I see your up to your forum lurking :rolleyes:

Here's a source of info on skyscrapers you may be able to follow Paul:

Butt out Ken!

That's not very nice Paul. :(

fyi: If you keep using words like that you may get mod'd out of here ;)

What good do you think it is going to be using that kind of language? I'm not going anywhere. Does it make you somehow feel more important using 'adult' language :confused:

Edit: Whoops. I see I started this whole thing with the 'h***' thing :o. Not sure why I felt the need to do that. My apologies to the forum....

Wow, that was really a shame.

I believe the book was about the world tallest buildings.

It was a good book, not so much because it was trumping American acclomplishments, as really cool buildings.

None of which, by the way, is in the U.S.

And I see your up to your forum lurking :rolleyes:

Is the light on or off?:D

Yeah Garry our drummer is absolutely effortless to watch and brilliant to work with as a bass player, all you see moving is his hands but he still puts out a tremendous rythmn. His son is at Birmingham conservatoire and is even more talented. Shelley is a delight to work with too and very professional, I don't believe she has any concept of how good she is, bless her.

The pub is a tiny Irish pub standing about 50 feet from the National Indoor Arena and about as close to that stage as I'll ever get to play! The place gets packed to therafters and has the best rock audience I've ever played to.

By the way we saw Jackson Browne last night at Birmingham Symphony Hall - it was a masterclass in how to write, sing and play intelligent rock music. Great band. Cheers

And Barry looks like Brian Jones, we want some more Barry:)

It was well apparent you were looking for an argument - and you got one - whats your problem?

Like many of your apologies Ken, you'll do the exact same thing soon as.

So - I am guessing it was a hardback. And in 2004 or so 49 out of 50 of the worlds tallest buildings where US designed but non of them in the US.


I wouldn't mind a glance at that - cos both things are quite surprising. Ta

Barry, thanks for the show. It was a pleasure to watch, you guys are really good. Typical Midlands, seem to produce amazing talent!

To my knowledge - its the first time? When was the previous one?

It was a good book, not so much because it was trumping American acclomplishments,

Not so much a book, more of a leaflet then.

LOL, I just christened my nice new screen with coffee!

maybe he's a prowler;)

Ken

I love the house but why did you start with a fully built one and then demolish it? :D

LOL, I was thinking that. Maybe you should reverse the pic order Ken, to avoid confusion. :p

Where is the show please? I can't find the post. :confused:

Well since I have joined - hes only been banned once - so to my knowledge its just once.I'll have to ask him when he comes back!?

Don't worry Ken - you often post things here that appear to be backward.

Thanks Rich.

Yep, excellent set of pipes she's got.

Nice feel on the rhythm too.

Brightened up my morning. Are you the 'more' guy Rich? :p

I'll look to see if the site will let me do that...:confused:

Perhaps we should ask whether this site can ban by IP too?

Often today, you mean, Mr New-to-the-forum? ;)

Kenny and Paul appear to be having a lovers tiff:eek:;)

I would have thought with your education dan-cat which you breezed through - you would already know?Some of the best Karaoke - I have heard in while that. Keeps you out of the bingo I guess.

Often today, you mean, Mr New-to-the-forum? ;)

Yep - its that often with Ken.

Kenny and Paul appear to be having a lovers tiff:eek:;)

OMG that's rude. :D

I hope Ken doesn't get too offended by it, Pauls unlikely to aware of it - unless Ken includes it in the pillow talk.

Nah, couldn't be, surely not... ;)

You really are as dim as you come across Paul :o

Better than standing outside listening:cool:

I'm done with this faux pas...

Can we talk about Joe's pictures or a related topics again?

You really are as dim as you come across Paul :o

I don't reckon you can be anywhere near as dumb as you appear to be. I've been wrong plenty of times before though.

...The pub is a tiny Irish pub standing about 50 feet from the National Indoor Arena and about as close to that stage as I'll ever get to play! The place gets packed to therafters and has the best rock audience I've ever played to...

Wo. That's excellent, Barry. Looks like great fun... Thanks.

Ron...Nice digs. Ditto, Ken...

Joe, did you know there's a section under "communities" where you can share photos and albums?

Give it a rest already Paul... :rolleyes:

Sorry Ken - It wont happen again. I mean that - just as you do.I missed whether you designed the house or not - and then you have to get an architect in do you?

We bought some books with plans and picked the one we liked best and ordered something like 5 sets. Then we gave the general contractor all but one set to build with.

What was the book called? Was it from Costco?What would it cost me to buy it at market rate- the house that is not the book? Are you anywhere near Augusta?

Barry, thanks for the show. It was a pleasure to watch, you guys are really good. Typical Midlands, seem to produce amazing talent!

You're very kind, I really appreciate the comments from everyone. We really enjoy playing together and I think that comes across at our gigs. By the way the lovely Shelley is an adopted scouser who was born in Belfast - she may not want to be called a Midlander but we'll have her as an honorary one!

Hum... The books probably came from Borders and maybe Lowes -? Don't really remeber where we got them. I can send you the couple of plan books if you really want them as I doubt we'll need them any more :)

Hum... I'm a hundred miles or so west of Augusta, You play golf :confused:;)

Hum the house by itself was just over 200k, add the 3 acres on a corner lot and it's probably worth a little over 3...

I see if I can find anything like that by me. Looks like you got a bargain.

Looks like you got a bargain.

What would something like that cost say 50 miles from London?

Hum the house by itself was just over 200k

Not bad at all!!

What would something like that cost say 50 miles from London?

In todays market anything upward of £350k, yes, that's in pounds.

Forgive my math but would that be in $525k range? :eek:

I missed that - where is this alleged offensive language?

If this is true, why is Paul banned when others here can use foul language without being banned?

Col

If this is true, why is Paul banned when others here can use foul language without being banned?

If it escapes notice by the mods/admin then of course they wouldn't. If the mods/admins notice it then they will likely take action. Just like when you get a speeding ticket. If you speed and no cop sees you doing it, you aren't going to get a ticket, but you engage in that behavior for too long then the likelihood goes up that you would get caught.

Yes and after the abuse of power here by a former mod I thought it was only admin that had the power to carry out such acts:confused:

......add the 3 acres on a corner lot and it's probably worth a little over 3...

Which gives me something like 100 K for 3 acres. That's approx. 70K € for
some 12.000 m2. Last year we bought 12.200 m2 next to our house for some 18.000 €. Looks like the land in France is cheaper than in Georgia :rolleyes:

Here's a pic of that property :

I'll bet Ken was involved. And if so I'll bet Ken isn't banned.

Honestly Col, You're beginning to sound like a little school girl...

Edit: If you want to beat me up start a 'Bash Ken' thread and let this thread get back to Joe's original topic.

I could be way off on the value, it was just a number that popped into my head. Probably closer to something like $60K. I was thinking with the house it could have gone up in value considerably...

I'm guessing it depends on the location, size and lay of land that determines the price most anywhere. If you bought a large enough piece in south Georgia you might be able it as little as five hundred dollars per acre...

Just stop it now Ken! Enough already! :p It would cost that for a window box over here :mad:

Looks like it's been removed.

Paul has used this kind of language before without being banned. I remember it well as it was directed at me.

I'm guessing it depends on the location, size and lay of land that determines the price most anywhere. If you bought a large enough piece in south Georgia you might be able it as little as five hundred dollars per acre...

Agree with you there and also the price I cited is for agriculuture purposes, i.e no permit for house building. If it's an CU terrain ( permit for construction), you're closer to some €15/m2, which equals approx. $82K/acre.

Not for temporary bans - perhaps for permanent. And if y'all would just be civil then it wouldn't matter then, eh? But that is a concept that could be too difficult for some to grasp.

Yes, perhaps a stop to some of the namecalling by our transatlantic posters may help too.
