The vibe really put the engineers on the defensive and we got more of a presentation than a discussion.sbanburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10252834678717194553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7417847976778607501.post-63513457803769563982009-03-12T11:37:00.000-05:002009-03-12T11:37:00.000-05:00Not how to spell hippie. ;)What was you take on th...Not how to spell hippie. ;)<BR/><BR/>What was you take on the thing last night?marycashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11723540914036793887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7417847976778607501.post-51160420377221246602009-03-12T10:55:00.000-05:002009-03-12T10:55:00.000-05:00All I know is that the original channel through Ov...All I know is that the original channel through Overton Park was permeable as was evident by the number of healthy Sycamore trees along it (now dying). <BR/><BR/>About 15 years ago the city redid it and made it impervious. I talked to the site supervisor when they were doing it and asked him why they weren't intalling any weep holes along the bottom of the channel and he told me that that would defeat the purpose.<BR/><BR/>I told him he was an idiot and that the walls would collapse due to hydraulic pressure from the surrounding water table. Guess what? The walls have collapsed in several places. <BR/><BR/>But, hey, what does a stupid hippy know?sbanburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10252834678717194553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7417847976778607501.post-37640160132029290102009-03-11T09:30:00.000-05:002009-03-11T09:30:00.000-05:00I believe it was an "improvement."
