How the hell is there not a series of relief valves preventing this from happening?!!! Is natural gas pipeline safety THAT poorly regulated?

Well Columbias response was so shitty that Baker basically fired them on live TV.

Buildings are most vulnerable while they are being constructed. Also, this looks like, yet again, another case of flammable facade materials plus possibly being installed in a manner that accelerates fires (with an air gap behind the material).

Is there a free tool, or map application, where you can draw on a map to see how big a parcel of land would look in a given area. Example, I want to draw a 50 acre plot and see how much space it would take up in Boston.

I wonder if the Globe will milk his death and his history as long as they have with Aaron Hernandez.

It's a tragedy his masturbatory Mad Libs spew of columnar diarrhea couldn't have been sequestered deeper into the hinterlands than Braintree.

Anybody know of any good designers for private residences in the New England area? I've found plenty of projects on the Cape, but that's about it.

Reason I'm asking is I'm known to ridicule a lot of house's designs around friends but they always ask if there's a house I don't mind/can't tear apart... A few come to mind, but not from the internet or an architect that I'm aware of....

I'm a fan of Cummings Architects in Ipswich.

https://www.cummingsarchitects.com/

Connor Homes also does some quality pre-fab / panelized stuff.

https://www.connormill-built.com/

But that's only relevant if you're into a very traditional style.

Thanks! I should've mentioned I was looking for traditional styles.
