How do you define the difference between lap siding and dutch lap siding?

I believe the Dutch Lap is the one with the beveled edge at the top of the board, which creates shadow lines. The board lays flat on the vertical. Lap siding has flat boards overlapping each other on an angle. Beaded lap has a rounded, beaded edging detail at the bottom of the board. The boards lay on a slight angle overlapping each other.

What are the usual dimensions of a two car and a three car garage?

2 car 20x20, better yet is 24x24

3 car 30w x 24 give or take.

Comment:

20x20 (400 ft2) barely accommodates two of today's cars, and leaves very little room for anything else such as snow blower (for us in the snow belt) or lawnmower. Opening the card doors can even be dangerous. A 20x20 foot print also typically limits you to one garage door.

A 24x24 (576 ft2) garage provides almost 50% more space than 20x20. Accommodates two large cars plus storage, lawn maintenance, snow removal gear, etc..

For a 3-car, a 24' depth is good. A 30' width for 3 cars is nowhere near as bad as 20' for 2 cars, but can still be tight if you need to store other items. Consider 32', 34', and 36' widths. 36' is pretty large; at above 36' width you begin to create a monster.

3 and 13/16 of an inch . 1 inch = 25.4 mm. so 3x25.4=76.2 . now for the fractions.13 divided 16 = 0.8125 x 25.4=20.6 now add 76.2 and 20.6 and you've got your answer in mm

Question poised to me by contractor. What pitch is your roof My answer was that it rises at a 25 degree angle. What is the pitch in his terms?

If I remember right it should be between a 5 and 6 pitch. Between a 5/12 pitch and 6/12 pitch. If it was 27.5 degrees it would be a 6/12 pitch. Enter in "roof pitch" in the Google bar and several sites will come up where you can calculate pitch. The 12 means 12 inches. So that it would be aproximitely 6 inches rise to 12 inches of run. Hope this helps and I hope I remember my roof pitch angles. It has been a few years since I have done it.

What are the advantages of Sustainable construction techniques?

Energy efficiency: The less energy you use, the more money you save. Resource Conservation: Setting your printer to the "print double-sided" default setting will save paper, requiring you to buy less of it. Healthy Indoor Environments: Because indoor air quality is often MUCH, MUCH worse than outdoor air quality due to toxins in paint, walls, furniture, clothing, etc., using low VOC (volatile organic compounds) paint and plywood that is processed without formaldehyde are just two of the things to do to decrease indoor air-toxicity. Additionally, big windows that open allow fresh air and natural light into the building, increasing the productivity and happiness of workers. Studies have demonstrated that auxillary benefits such as these often entice highly skilled workers away from better paying positions that don't offer good indoor environments. Overall Sustainability: Each time you choose something that "Reduces, re-uses, or recycles" you are contributing to the overall health and longevity of our planet. It's these simple choices that lead to bigger steps, as market interest breeds industry innovation. Look for wood that comes from well-managed forests (see FSC certified wood), use material that is generated locally (this cuts down on carbon emissions from shipping costs). For more information regarding tax breaks and other incentives, look up the LEED program for new construction.

Are memory foam beds safe for young children?

I was wondering the same thing. MY guess would be yes as far as firmness goes. The seem soft bot aren't plush and cushy like a pillowtop, featherbed, down comforter, etc. What about chemicals though?

I would say no. I used to work in a chiropractic clinic and especially in young children I don't think memory foams are good for their spinal development. It really depends on how soft it is. If the child sinks into it too much and they have a tendency to slouch in certain area's, this will only craddle the issue, ultimately worsening the condition as they age. Where as if a child has a firmer bed, it can offer that child's slouching problem support. Ultimately lessening the curvature in the spine as time passes. Not to hard, not too soft... Simple :)
