Q&A: Is there building code on where the central AC compressors should be installed?
Question by TfC_137: Is there building code on where the central AC compressors should be installed?
Our new construction home is scheduled to close next month., but the location of the AC compressors is really annoying. The compressors were right on one edge of our extented patio at first. I think that is a design flaw I had not expected. Other houses don’t have our issues since our house is flipped. I expressed my concern to the builder on the safety (kids will play on the patio)and noise issues. They said it was impossible to move to the other side at the current stage. However they did move a little bit to allow a seperation (one foot, with some plants put there). I really appreciate their gesture. But is that really what can be done? Is is possible that the current location violates some building code? How to find out if that is the case?

With the pipes and electrical box, I would bet it is very expensive to move at this stage. Building code is different in every city. Your city might have something about this but I can’t imagine that they would.

Building the Parthenon
A video with the still pics taken during the construction of this awesome greek monument. I left everything in there, including a couple of design mistakes, later rectified. Building took place on peaceful mode, majority of materials used were dig out by hand. I had enough stone to build everything, but I realized smooth stone doesnt look very good, so i switched to wool, used instead of marble. I edited in the wool, took a couple thousand units so had no intention to punch sheep for next quadrillion years to get it. Obsidian was used were friezes suppose to be and gold ore for the big east and west frieze on the roof. Gold blocks for the dais and gold ore was also edited in, my world is very poor on gold. Building is an exact replica, at 1.5:1 scale, 50% bigger than in reality. Exact is a loosely used term, since one can place blocks only with 1 meter (3 feet) accuracy. I kept however the proportions of the real thing, 9:4. Final dimensions: 47 wide x 99long x 29 height in the middle. Took aproximately 6 weeks to build.

Building a House in The Sims 2 – #2
*EDIT JAN 11TH, ’09* Warner Music Group decided they didn’t want people to listen to a song that was featured in the background of this Sims fan video, so unfortunately all audio had to be removed. It’s petty and stupid I know, but hey. The hundreds of other videos on this site with music from warner-signed artists are obviously just not important to them. This is the reason for the lack of music, so feel free to play your own tracks. 🙂 *END EDIT* **HOW TO ATTACH A GARAGE TO A FOUNDATION** I’ve been getting lots of people asking me this, so here is where I learned it all: a very helpful tutorial on thesims2.ea.com thesims2.ea.com This was recorded with fraps and features/objects from all expansion packs were probably used. The car can be found as a free download on the official Sims 2 site. **OTHER CHEATS** To rotate 45 degrees: Boolprop Allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation True (then you MUST USE the period and comma keys to rotate objects) To move objects off-grid: Boolprop SnapObjectsToGrid False Don’t forget to combine with move_objects on for placement anywhere. Enjoy 😉

A question off of my science final exam review guide.
Best answer:
Answer by For Me to know
Buildings in earthquake prone area are required to seismically designed
where building structural systems can withstand the P and S waves of earthquakes
with expansion joints at roofs, walls you might see more wood used as structural members than steel or concrete but steel and concrete can be used if designed correctly

Why did Vegas Luxor casino use a stupid pyramid design when 90% of the building is empty air conditioned space?
Question by shoreke: Why did Vegas Luxor casino use a stupid pyramid design when 90% of the building is empty air conditioned space?
Best answer:
Answer by UrbanPhotos
Maybe the empty space design was more cost effective or is energy efficient in some way compared to the standard practice of constructing ceilings and floors in between every level?
I think it’s more likely that whoever paid for the project just wanted a pyramid and didn’t care about anything else. Luxor was built for 5 million, which is cheap compared to what newer resorts cost (Wynn was .7 billion, Encore was .3 billion.)
