Lincoln School flatwork draws questions about using bonded surplus and borrowing strategy
A two‑phase Lincoln School flatwork project (two phases at $900,000 each; $1.8M total) was presented as a town‑manager sponsored item that will be capital‑voted. Deputy Town Manager Anthony Anselda said bond counsel allowed use of remaining Morocco extension bond proceeds for this work; options include using BSF, CPA or borrowing.

The national cost-per-square-foot is wrong in both directions
Public bid tabs show about a 3x spread for the same concrete flatwork item, from $4.50 to $13.68 per square foot

"Petipoint" iron https://collections.artsmia.org/art/6952/
One could argue that Stevens’ Petipoint was the racecar of the ironing world at the time, with its streamlined wings on either side. They actually facilitated air-cooling, keeping the user’s hand and the thermostat area cool. The upswept back portion of the iron is the “petit point” for detailing ruffles and pleats. Knapp-Monarch advertised that its Flatwork Ironer, specially designed for flat linens like sheets and tablecloths, would “cut flatwork ironing time by ⅓.” Its round shape allowed it to move in any direction and it had versatile settings for linen, cotton, wool, silk, and artificial silk. The irony (pun intended) here is that although these appliances performed very well, they often increased the amount of in-home ironing done by housewives, who earlier would have sent linens out for pressing.

I used to pump concrete for a commercial flatwork crew here in Denver, that before every pour, the crew lead would hold a safety meeting & a group stretching and exercise for 15-20 minutes. Team building & a commitment to health/safety was key to their success. Imagine if we were all on that train

But also, this is huge cause he was a clip and strip last year, I've been rehabbing the flatwork, and it's finally in a resilient state so I can jammy him over the holidays and not lose my progress. All this means surely nothing to all a y'all so translation: pls clap 🥹

Below about 40d lat, imho, concrete is superior, above asphalt. Pervious surfaces are good as long as the base course is stable. If flatwork is sloped appropriately water shouldn't pool long. Cracking admits water which erodes the base causing potholes.

The rest of the lesson went so well though & he was super impressed with how much progress we’ve made since our last lesson a few weeks ago. I’ve been working hard on our flatwork and it’s really paid off

Winter basically means more focusing on flatwork, so no more XC days or adventures once the first snow hits…(soon)…and it’s good for them mentally to have some time off now and then, so, I can stream for like 3/4 hours on one weekend day ✨

I plan to use BSky to showcase my art. While I have years of experience in flatwork, I’ve only recently ventured back into painting model horses - with new mediums. I’m nowhere near as talented as so many of the artists in this hobby but I am striving to learn and improve with each piece.

It's not uncommon! The flatwork guys can can eg form curbs. Often they can do a single step, which is why he was so stuck on the idea of a bunch of stacked boxes. It took me a couple of afternoons to form so idk why he thought stacking boxes would be faster

In 2015 my neighbor hired a guy to redo a bunch of concrete flatwork but he didn't know how to build stairs so I did them for her while she looked after my kids. The contractor berated me about my formwork because he thought it would have been better to stack boxes on top of each other
