Since I have semi-retired I visit Plan Centers in S~lem and Portland area and review projects on file prior to bidding. I was looking at a new school building up for bid in our area and notice they were calling for a vapor retarder under a concrete floor on grade and included 2 inches of sand fill over vapor retarder.

A good example of why not to place a sand fill over a vapor retarder is here in Salem where the South Salem Seniors constructed a new large building and specifications called for a sand fill over vapor retarder.

As you can see if you do not pick up on the words "not less that 20-minutes" you might think that the requirements are met with a 20-minute '51-WG;RA'3':;, 71-IE-ORETICAL MA11-lE.MATICJAI-.J door. The fact is that "not less than" means the minimum requirements. There are other sections of the code that requires higher ratings. The word "All" tells us that every door shall meet these requirements.

I was reading an earlier CSI Portland Chapter News­ certainly wouldn't want to be a part of their propos­ letter "The Predicator" dated February 1975 and in als. I guess you agree with me that our Email brings my article on page 6, I stated: "In closing there is one us many strange communications. One should be thing if feel very bullish about, and that is using the most wary of such proposals. In closing I would be words "or equal" or "approved equal in your specifi­ glad to receive items of interest from you folks to cations." My strong advice is never use these rascals. place in future BS Columns. Use such words as "approved" or "Architect ap­ proved". This gives the architect and specifier control over substitutions without having your neck stuck out the proverbial ten feet. Another item that caught my attention was in the 1974 Chapter Presi­ dents Column I jokingly stated the following: Also in closing, I hereby insert my standard weasel clause: The statement and opinions listed above are my own, made under no coercion and in apparent sound mind do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Con­ struction Specification Institute, my employer or my wife. (How the heck did my wife get in there?) My comment regarding above mention of "equal' or "approved equal" I have been harping about that for many years. I note when reviewing specifications at Plan Centers these words show up less often but every now and again they do appear in contract documents out to bid. It just goes to show you that 0 something is used it is very difficult to change. ~'teat ~ once By Ed Loy, CSI, CDT A point in case is that some specifications still call for a 2 inch sand layer and 6/6 X 10/10 wire mesh reinforcing over a vapor barrier/retarder under an interior concrete slab on grade. Why they ever called for them in the first place is beyond me.

I reading through some of my old President's Col­ umns when I was Chapter President for two years it brought to mind I have not only written 287 BS Columns plus this one. Now that is a lot of BS but I also wrote 20 Chapter Presidents Columns. Now ifl had just been paid at least ten dollars each for all these columns, I would be wealthier today. Ha! I did receive a compliment (I thought so) from a CSI member I met at a CSI Convention. He told me I wrote the best BS Column he had ever read.

How can you know where you must head, if you do not know where you are? How do know you have achieved your objective, if you cannot know where you are? Many calamities resulted from navigators who could rely only upon "dead reckoning" to determine their course. 18th Century British seamen were prohibited from keeping their own logs, and anyone caught doing so, or who questioned the Captain's navigational accuracy, was put to death! So the ultimate definition for "dead reckoning" may have been, "We'll get there or you will die in the trying."

I have noticed when I go to a doctor's office and we are in an examination room most of the rooms have 1/8" X 12" X 12" square vinyl tile with a 4" rubber or vinyl base. I also notice as the rooms get older joints open up and indicate cracks. It seems to me that germs could be in these cracks. I assume they clean the floors properly at least once daily but I don't believe that is adequate to prevent germ growth which can affect patients. My opinion is that sheet vinyl should be installed continuous up a base at least 4 "and terminated in an approved wall stop. How about this?
