Hello Reader, You know how low-slope roofs are supposed to be snow magnets? Well, turns out it's not that simple. We've got a lot more to learn. This February, the A-Team is inviting you to crash our watch party. We're diving into 'Snow Retention for Low-Slope Roofs', a rad course brought to us by AIBD CEP - Ron Blank & Associates, on behalf of Anchor Products. A watch party isn't just about kicking back and having fun (although there's plenty of that). It's about creating a space where we can learn from each other, spark discussions, and apply what we've learned in real-world scenarios. The best part? You can earn your continuing education credits without shelling out for individual courses. AIBD's got you covered, and it's on the house. For those seeking AIA CEs, they are available as well. The only requirement is passing the 10-question quiz, which we'll lead you to. So mark your calendars for Tuesday, February 27, at 2:00 pm ET. Let's shake up the usual self-study routine and make earning those continuing education requirements a bit more bearable, and a lot more fun. Head over to AIBD.org/Tuesday-at-2, right now to register. Catch you then, P.S. - Give us a heads-up if you're coming (i.e., register), and we'll shoot over reminders so you won't miss out. Can't make it? No sweat. We'll send you a link so you can catch the video whenever you want. Register: AIBD.org/Tuesday-at-2 |

Classical columns and traditional porch posts will always be in style. After all, isn't that why we call them classical and traditional? In conjunction with railings and decorative trims, the columns and posts are fundamental architectural features that define the traditional front porch, making the space visually cohesive and welcoming. However, a common flaw arising from the typical installation of columns and posts sticks in my craw—two vertical cracks that run from bottom to top. The...

Hello Reader, Congrats on surviving Monday and crushing Tuesday. Now, Wednesday beckons you to take a break and step into a pattern of discovery. Welcome to the Midweek Meander. Did someone forward this to you? Please consider subscribing. Imagine, on November 12, 1930, you show up to a job interview only to discover the company's entire office building is inching down the block, turning a corner, and everyone is pretending it's totally normal.
