Do caves really cover 20 % of Texas ? Or did I misunderstand that statistic ?
Had any Austin cavers explored this cave prior to the homeowner finding it ? Is it listed in the Caves of Travis County ? Has anybody been pack to push it, or do a dye-trace ? I can see the developer rolling their eyes, and saying to themselves, "I can get a cement truck out here in an hour to fill that." On a personal note ( hit delete button now ), I worked for David Weekley homes for one year in their drafting department. It was one of the worst jobs I ever had, partly because my supervisor was the biggest pr**k, I have every worked under. However, DW did throw a nice Christmas party. He invited us once out to his mediocre lake house to spend the night and go swimming on Lake Conroe. [ but this required being forced to participate in his Japanese work-psychology activity games designed to weed out people like me ]. That was 1990 ( I think ). He allegedly lived down the street, from Farrah Fawcett. They were building crappy homes then, and I mentioned that to my boss's boss in an email that I broadcasted to the entire company ( then about 40 people ). I do not know why, but they did not appreciate my constructive criticism and rudely showed me to the front door, just one day, before my 401k was vested. They were not impressed at all at my very clever way to broadcast the email, using AutoCAD at the messenger, as the company had no such email system at the time. Eventually, they took all of my advice. I occasionally go in their new model homes, and say to myself, "it is about frickin time, you added that feature." I am strongly opposed to the common use of "oriented strand board", and believe all that glue is about the same as living in a mobile home. I think every builder, uses it now, but at least it is recyclable, and is made from wood chips that otherwise, might just end up in the landfill. If I were rich, I would never live in a home were the walls were constructed entirely of OSB. I feel, being exposed to those very tiny minute particles in the air day after day for 60 years, might have some negative health effect that is avoidable. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visit our website: http://texascavers.com To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
