NenadM Posted January 29, 2015 Share #751 Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) Hey boys, from your discusion I concluded that you are more worried about finding place to live than finding new job in new town ... In my country, this is just opposite - you can find flat, room, house easily if you have money, and you can find regular job .... almost never ... if you want to work regular with social insurance ... if you do not want insurance, you can find easy low-paid job Prices In Belgrade - apartment 50-60 m2 - 200-500€, house 100-200 m2 500-1500€ per month In suburb of town - apartment 50-150€, house 200-500€ But average earnings net per month Workers with or without elementary school - 150€ Workers with high school or craftsman - 150-300€ Workers with college degree - 400-600€, and if you are a chief, director or leading manager or expert with significant knowlidge and experience, maybe double of that If you are in private business or inside or connected with politic or criminal, you can earn a bit or a lot more on one or another way, depends of your morality In my country, main thing is - find any job. It seems that with you is different ?

Alan Newman Posted March 12, 2015 Share #755 Posted March 12, 2015 Hi Bob, Going back to your post 28 November 2014 - 01:16, I'm left wondering how having secured the wire to the deadeye, how did you secure the wire into th deck? How can you be sure the tension on the deadeye wire won't pull the wire out? Tanks, Alan GLakie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfolsom Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share #757 Posted March 14, 2015 Hello Alan; Good question. At this stage, the deadeyes are only temporarily positioned, so I don't know if the tension will pull them out. I am planning on CA glue at the base and at the rail level. I will probably do a mock up when the time comes, and subject a test deadeye/ chainplate assembly to increasing tensions until failure; and then I might have to adjust my strategy to compensate. I'll keep everyone informed when it's time. (At my speed, everyone will have probably figured out better methods...) ~Bob GLakie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfolsom Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share #758 Posted March 14, 2015 I also was concerned when it came to mounting the main rail that I would have to put reinforcing pins through the bulwarks to affix the rail. When all was said and done, with all the trim panels, topgallent rail, and what-nots installed, the whole bulwark/panels/rails structure proved to be incredibly strong. MUCH more strong than I would have guessed... I'm hoping the trend will continue with the deadeye assemblies.... GLakie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfolsom Posted March 14, 2015 Author Share #759 Posted March 14, 2015 So, to dramatically show the rail strength issue, I place a belaying pin in the main rail in the starboard fore and tied a string (not my actual rigging line, just some thick fuzzy stuff of the Admiral's) ...

rfolsom Posted March 22, 2015 Author Share #769 Posted March 22, 2015 Hey Guys, my move is a ways away, but the first thing I need to do is organize the ships, the materials, and the tools. These are the most delicate parts of the move (except for us humans and the birds..!) This is why I stopped working on the ships. I will resume this summer in a better location (Lincoln, Nebraska). I may be here in Colorado for a few more months, but I am packing away the ships; I'll resume when I get to my home state. I'll try to keep in touch during this process, but its not the same when we were all working collectively. Best wishes to everyone, and happy modeling...

Krelis Posted March 26, 2015 Share #776 Posted March 26, 2015 "The U.S. Government designated Lincoln in the 1970s as a refugee-friendly city due to its stable economy, educational institutions, and size. Since then, refugees from Vietnam settled in Lincoln, and further waves came from other countries. More recently, Lincoln was named one of the "Top Ten most Welcoming Cities in America" by Welcoming America" (Wiki). rfolsom and GLakie 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rfolsom Posted April 21, 2015 Author Share #778 Posted April 21, 2015 Thanks, Jan; Lincoln has been consistently in the top 100 cities to live in the US. When you've lived there for most of your life, you tend to think the grass is greener on the other side. It's not. No wonder the richest man in the world lives in Nebraska, and stays in Nebraska (Warren Buffet). GLakie and Krelis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
