Probably an electric arc furnace AKA a used appliance to ingot sheet metal recycling factory, right? Doesn’t need the same proximity to either taconite routes or coke/nat’l gas. But still doubt this is an ideal location

Major US steel mill locations, 2024. Iowa already has a couple EAFs. As the map shows, demand for steel is concentrated in the southeast not the midwest

What’s going on in Iowa that makes value differences correlate so closely with state borders? Having grown up in darker green areas on the Illinois side of the river I can’t think of any agricultural differences

This has come a long way since the Superloop I used to ride as a child

Super Loops carnival ride, a 10 m diameter track with a short car that goes around it upside down while the track, held together in dubious tension by rusted rods, shakes violently and dislodges the contents of people pockets onto those below, while a ride operator missing half his teeth makes distracted conversation with young teen girls waiting in line

Seconding the Domenech i Montaner recommendation, adding Casa Lleó Morera to the list. It’s on the same block as Batllo, stunning interior design and craft. A great triptych w Sant Pau and the Palau de la Música. Gaudi is v cool but didn’t exist in a vacuum, as the Hughes book v well describes

Even if don’t mess with the hold-opens intentionally, they can trip off at times, and your elevator opening to a closed door inches away can feel uncomfortable, I imagine

Lobbies preferred, hold-opens at the doors or curtains only when necessary usually due to space limitations. Cost, reducing complexity of installation are the drivers

That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point. Very seldom does something like this happen. Normally race cars are very safe.

These were mounted with standoff pins. Depending on specifically how, they could potentially unthread the fasteners, or alternatively just cut the pins behind the letters with a saw or angle grinder. After the letters are off they’ll still need to remove the pins, leaving unsightly holes to patch

Others have pointed out how often people in cities solve this for themselves. But even better if we plan for it!

What we’ve found important in our house is to have a mix of completely different sizes and shapes. Obviously you’ll want to make sure nothing nests together for storage, but it’s equally critical to make sure nothing fits in the dishwasher racks

The code language is “four or more stories above or below” level of exit discharge, so it can certainly vary w/ grading and building conditions

We’ve had our share of pain on other issues, especially w the Lt. you mentioned, but this issue has been resolvable for us

The codes been pretty consistent on this, probably at least 20 years if memory serves. Fire prevention reviewers and their knowledge base, less so. I know I’ve had to go thru an education process with new staff, including the guy you’re talking about, but have gotten them past it w the commentary

Here’s the language that usually triggers the requirement at 5 and more stories (note the exception for horizontal exits)
