Join us for a CE Watch Party - Snow Retention for Low-Slope Roofs
|
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 |

We’ve recently added courses covering some very different parts of residential design practice — from wall bracing and remodeling workflows to short-term rentals, architectural photography, and more efficient drafting. Here’s what’s new: A Wall Bracing Methodology for Residential Design Wall bracing can be one of the more complicated parts of the residential code — and it can sometimes lead to projects being sent to an engineer when a prescriptive solution may have worked.

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. On September 9, 1965, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) was officially created.
