Hey everyone! Another fellow Texan here, there were quite a bit of us in class!
That class was awesome! Thanks Bo for the invite to your place and I'm sad our reservation didn't allow us to make the trip. (We also got delayed in dfw)
I can't wait to hear how all of us students are doing. I know I'm making plans now for my future cabin now!
If anyone is in the Texas area, I'd love to offer a hand to help, I'm only 24 and have a lot to learn about construction, but that class made me feel like a kid in a candy shop.
I'm excited to learn.
I had some plywood left from another project so I got 4 forms built today. I'll run to Home Depot tomorrow and get more materials. I have the pier blocks drawn in solid works so now I know how much concrete each block takes and the weight of each one using 3000 psi concrete. I know it doesn't really matter but I was bored and yes I'm just that anal! Lol
Oh no... Another Rod Stressman.
Every time I have strayed from the teachings of Skip Ellsworth it has cost me money.
I love the mask mandate. I hardly ever have to bruh my teeth anymore.
I'm just landing in dfw. You are already home. I'm impressed.
My flight left out at 6am so I didn't get much sleep the whole weekend but it was worth it.
I can get that way sometimes. lol this is what I came up with ..
Mass properties of pier block
Density = 0.08680556 pounds per cubic inch
Mass = 2148.42407296 pounds
Volume = 24749.84532063 cubic inches
Surface area = 5318.47073653 square inches
Center of mass: ( inches )
X = 0.00000000
Y = -4.80774816
Z = 18.00000000
Principal axes of inertia and principal moments of inertia: ( pounds * square inches )
Taken at the center of mass.
Ix = (0.00000000, 1.00000000, 0.00000000) Px = 308384.50247349
Iy = (0.00000000, 0.00000000, 1.00000000) Py = 317589.41907940
Iz = (1.00000000, 0.00000000, 0.00000000) Pz = 370055.97922397
Moments of inertia: ( pounds * square inches )
Taken at the center of mass and aligned with the output coordinate system.
Lxx = 370055.97922397 Lxy = 0.00000000 Lxz = 0.00027090
Lyx = 0.00000000 Lyy = 308384.50247349 Lyz = 0.00000000
Lzx = 0.00027090 Lzy = 0.00000000 Lzz = 317589.41907940
Moments of inertia: ( pounds * square inches )
Taken at the output coordinate system.
Ixx = 1115805.00320324 Ixy = 0.00000000 Ixz = 0.00027090
Iyx = 0.00000000 Iyy = 1004473.90211185 Iyz = -185923.47375662
Izx = 0.00027090 Izy = -185923.47375662 Izz = 367249.04342031
omg, what language is that?! How about just "very heavy"
