Countdown To Dull

Been about 25 yrs. since there was a serious magnitude earthquake north of the 35th parallel, hasn't it?

Hardly ever in CheeseHeadVille. However, there is a decent size fault below us....

I am currently working on a building originally constructed in 1873, and as a Historic change-of-use project, it looks like we might have to try to update a building that had little concern for lateral loading, to more modern seismic codes. And balance that with not filling it up with big cross bracing that shoots the historic character to shit...

Shakey-Town Editor:
The big question is how deep your fault is.

Was hoping for an N.F.L. version of the 1989 World Series Bay Area "event".

'Though I should shut up; 88-yr. old "reinforced" masonry, so dry the mortar is blowing away.
