Just lath, no cover. If you want to use any of these, PM me with your E-mail and I'll send you the full size.
 
I submitted the presentation for approval yesterday.. Thanks to all of you that let me use your photos. It ended up with about 240 slides and 2 video clips.

I still need a wye or double wye fixture connection (vent connection below weir of trap).. if anybody has such a photo, I would appreciate your letting me use it!

Got the course approved as CE for local licensing.. date schedule for next month.. and FINALLY got my photos of vent connect below weir of trap.. actually had a wye and a combo on the same job.. so got 2 photos..

Thanks to all who donated photos.. Will let you know how it goes. Looks like I will fill the seats in a week or two.

Always looking for more interesting photos!

Good luck with the presentation and let us know how it was received by the crowd. They will be your best critic, but never tell you about it. Make sure you have a "mole" that can hear what is said during the breaks and that is how you truely find out what everyone thinks. I always find that I talk too fast when addressing a crowd. I do fine when it is one on one, but put me in front of 30 people, yikes. I am sure you will also get a bonus on your paycheck for this!!!!
 
Tim speaking gets easier the more you do it.

Take a tape/cam recorder and place it in the back and play it back during a break. You be surprised at the dumb and awkward moments you have. Then you hear where you really know and explain things well. It's all good.
 
Thanks for the well wishes. Speaking doesn't bother me. I know there will be awkward moments.. not because of nerves but because the next slide won't be what I thought it was or something to that effect.

The presentations I have given in the past I gave many times (they aren't building code related).. so they are second nature now.. I know exactly what the next slide is.. I know where to insert the stupid jokes etc..

This being the maiden voyage I am sure there will be some bumps in the road.. but it's all good.
 
WEATHER ALERT - Southern California could be sunned-in for the next several days. Residents have been urged to hunker down at their nearest beach or tiki bar for further instructions. Use extreme caution when braving this blizzard of sunshine, preferably 30 SPF. We're asking our friends and relatives to the East to please keep us in their thoughts as we deal with our 2 feet buried in the sand.

LMAO!!! I had to steal that and post it on Facebook........
 
Gave the class the other day. Had a mix of about 30 architects and GCs. Did not have a single subcontractor.

Was lucky enough to have the regional rep from Simpson attend and it worked out great. He added a lot of useful info to the wind resistance and cutting/notching discussion.

Ran late by about 20 minutes. Heard nothing but good feedback.. Phone has rang several times asking when it will be given again.

I did use most of the photos that were donated. Thanks again.
 
Nothing I haven't said before.. But I really owe a lot of you thanks. What I've learned here really helps me do my job a lot better.

Francis.. we had about 15 minutes on spray foam in the attic.. Lots of good questions.

Chris.. had about 10 mins on CEE and bonding.. A year ago I didn't know a GEC from an EGC..

Architects asked about AIA credit; I found AIA would charge me $1500 to be a "provider" to lecture to architects. I told them if the local AIA chapter paid the fee I would offer it to architects again for free.. So we'll see what happens.
