Square yard

Anything over a half an inch of rain in a 60-minute period is such a rare weather phenomenon; it is unrealistic to prepare for such a deluge. It is necessary to find the approximate square footage of each region of roof that will drain into a length of gutter. The commonly accepted practice is to place no less than one downspout for every 1,600 square feet of roof. Where the water is going is equally as important as how many downspouts are installed when deciding on how to install gutters. Homeowners need to be careful not to erode retaining walls, create drainage problems in a yard, or overflow retention ponds. The best place to aim a downspout is across a driveway or road, into a specially designed cul-de-sac, or out into an open area with good drainage capability. Additional downspouts are better, because they will handle more water during heavy downpours, plus disperse the water more evenly across the ground. Always err on the side of more downspouts if possible when determining how to install…

ventured off on my own I decided to take a shortcut to attempt to catchup with my brother and sister quicker but as I sped up on my bicycle I lost track of my pace and my right foot got caught on the pedal causing me to crash. As the adrenaline wore off I was in severe pain which caused me to screech for help hoping that my brother and sister would hear me or possible a neighbor however, after several minutes of waiting and hoping that my brother and sister would come I noticed a women outside…

The Forest Acres community offers a number of opportunities to those who live in the area. As a city that has increased from two square miles to approximately five square miles in the area size, and from 375 to around 10, 500 in population size, it is understandable why this community appears to be becoming more upscale when compared to other local communities. After visiting different areas of this community, Forest Acres appears to be a community that is populated mostly by upper middle class…

only been coming out at night, and rummaging through their trash, and tearing up there yards. They have only seen it at night. They say it is a good sized bear. I have heard people say next time they see it they are going to kill it and if they don’t see it they are going to go hunting after it. Also people are leaving their houses because of the bear. In the beginning, people have been talking about a big grizzly. I hear it is a pretty good sized bear. A grizzly bear can get up to a good…

Does an atlatl lengthen how far a dart goes compared to hand throwing the dart? Purpose The purpose of the experiment was to find out if the atlatl truly does increase the distance that a dart can travel, compared to just using an arm, on average. If it does increase the distance, than this knowledge could be used to understand how using the atlatl affected the way paleolithic Europeans survived, as there would have likely been less accidents killing prey, as they could be farther away, but…

Maybe it has something to do with their histories; Memorial City Mall was originally constructed in the 1960’s and has since become one of the premier shopping spots in Houston thanks to a large scale renovation projects taking place in the 2000’s (Redevelopments), but it is still definitely older, and full of the shops you’d see everywhere else. CityCentre is a more recent construction, a312,679 square foot mixed-retail center located upon the former Town and Country Mall; younger and full of…

Over the course of the semester I have been volunteering with American Public Square. I have completed around eleven hours so far and have been helping at events hosted by the group. At events I have helped attendants find seats, passed out programs, collected questions from the audience, tracked demographics, and cleaned up once attendees have left. While my acts have seemed small to me, those putting on the programs have said these little things amount to a large burden off their shoulders.…

Communal Areas Cleaning London Do you own a large commercial property, student property, flat share or office block? If you do, then you will have to address cleaning communal areas. The reason is because you must provide residents or visitors to such property with healthy living conditions that stand up to certain standards.
