Re: Monday.

Well, I might have to go upstairs to my shop, to find the answer to this question. To bad about the corner in the stairs, makes it tough to get stuff up and down.

Well, in the south that would be.........

....one of those clear things you look thru or open/close. You know, like, "Why doncha open a winder and let in some are".... LOL

Re: Monday.

Every contractor has a guy who's job it is to collect all the extension cords and compressor hoses at the end of the day....thus, your answer. ;-)

Answer and mo

Gary gets the large star as the answer is the stair(s) that are usually triangular shaped to turn a corner on a staircase. Landings are much better if you have the room. If not, MAKE the room or you will curse yourself for the life of the house. Basil and Thomas, you get stars for your forehead too for creativity in the workplace.

Winder is also what your wife patiently asks you when you find that the custom tub you waited six weeks for AND just finished framing and wallboarding walls around in your bathroom has the drain on the wrong side.

While barely on the subject of triangles. A triangular architects rule as several scales. How many? What are they. Bettcha have to look.

HAY! That was me.........

....40 years ago and I was the best winder that ever was.

When the boss hollared "Get'em up" that was a signal it was quitting time. If he happened to hollar just a little earlier than usual, I'd have'em all up and in the truck quick as a wink. I'd be sitting out there in the truck all bye my lonesome waiting for the rest to get in....LOL

Basil

You're right

I couldn't even get the number of scales right with looking, I was off by 1, and I started figureing with the wrong scale too.

Or--

an opening in the wall so you can toss them chicken bones out to the Polecats. Also a conveinet portal to dispose of the empty Bud cans.

11 Scales

Finally, one I know! There are 11 scales. 16, 3/32, 3/16, 1/4, 1/8, 1/2, 1, 1 1/2, 3, 3/8 and 3/4.

Carry one around at work quite a bit.

Well, probably, could be, I guess.

Actually there are ten scales. There is a engraved next to the twelve inch rule and it is divided into sixteenths but I�ve never called that one a scale. (If someone knows why, please tell me because I sure don�t know why.) Since all of the other scales are a ratio to a foot for drawing purposes I guess that you could identify the �16� twelve inch rule as a one to one scale. The smallest scale is 3/32 which is 1 to 128 feet. The others are1/8 is 1 to 96, 3/16 is 1 to 64, � is 1 to 48, 3/8 is 1 to 32, � is 1 to 24, � is 1 to 16, 1� is 1 to 12, 1 1/2� is 1 to 8, and 3� is 1 to 4. When it comes to figuring all that for anything I putz around with I use a metric ruler instead.
