Coming from an engineering family (father has passed away) I value Engineer's probably more than any other group in society. Anyhow an explanation for that another day. Me too on my wifes side..My father-in-law was a brilliant Mech/Mining Engineer acaicas What was meant was that with the designer prepping me for a $400 cost of design and it will rather start with over $1400 There is a lot that goes into engineering these days and Keeping up and applying technology is a huge Return on Investment (ROI) Cost acaicas I just lost my coffee machine. I wanted a Lelit Mara - around $2400. Me - big eyes. My wife hit me, and so I settled on a Breville $1200 jobby. Wife swatted me again. So this time I asked if I could spend $400 on a little basic coffee machine. What about that one my mrs says, it's on special for $340 but baby ... So yes Engineer's are worth it it just means I might be making Baldrick style Coffee. LOL sounds like your wife would make a Good ROI engineer Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs Versaloc is a mortarless besser block system that still needs a properly engineered footing. If you just do a 400x200 footing it will fail in time. At 17m long you need it… 1 3397 yep sounds good make the footing bigger to to allow for the pipe in the middle 3 5288 PM me your email.
