Ha! Love the graphic! We’re celebrating the THIRD of July tonight with extended family up in Bountiful… Sweet. Not sure yet what we’re doing for the actual Fourth.

These look pretty cool. Speaking of broken toy gliders, does anyone remember those big foam ones that would break on any hard landing? I broke a few of those on their first flight

Ah, see someone already brought up the bug issue. Any update?

Very cool application of (otherwise ugly when beveled) Hardie siding. Looks really great. Classic modern look. Almost wish I’d seen this before….
My question to you guys is how you are dealing with, if you have any issue, insects/bugs getting in to the space behind the siding?

I am about to tackle (long overdue) installation of T&G Cedar siding and firmly believe in allowing air space between house wrap and siding. Thinking about putting up a mesh product called “Home Slicker” that will create about 1/4 of air space behind siding. Furring strips would not work as well for me since they will have to be horizontal (cedar siding will be vertical)

I wondered about that statement as well. Maybe they are ant football fields. :rofl

Those would be very small football fields.

There appear to be 22 holes across, and 26 rows down. So let’s say the diameter of the hole is 2/22″. Surface area is 2″ * (2/22)* pi = 0.57 sq inches for each hollow tube. let’s round up: 1 sq inch. Of which there are appox = 22* 26 = 572, rounding up to 600. So we have 600 sq inches. each outside face is 2*2 = 4 sq inches, and there are 6 faces, so 24 sq inches. ie 624 sq inches. about 4.5 sq feet.

I haven’t tried any of the various charcoal ‘deodorizers’ on the market, but I’d like to. I think we need one of these next to the litterbox.

i am sure the gehry-esque structure will compliment the ikea in his now trite designs.
