Does tempered glass continue to pop after breaking?
I have witnessed this happen. A heat stess from a candle resulted in a small star crack and moments after that, the tempered glass table top broke apart before our eyes. It's more accurate to say the glass burst or exploded. The pieces on the floor continued to pop and break apart for maybe 5 or 10 minutes, sounding like tiny popcorn. We were lucky no one was hurt.

How do you repair deck joists on a cantilever deck?
Not knowing if the joist are in need of repair from rot (deterioration) or broken/damaged then replace ment of joist may be necessary.
First get a replacement joist of the same or better species and treatment content and dimensions as the existing joist. Then cut the joist to the same length. You may have to cut a small angle on the bottom end of the joist to aid in working it over and between the girts and decking boards. Work the joist within a few inches of the joist to be replaced. Use a short 4x4 to drive the joist or a wood block to strike with a hammer. Take a couple of scrap 2x's and temporarily fasten to the girts and new joist to prevent movement. Then you may try a couple methods to remove the old joist. If the decking is fastened with screws then simply backout the screws. If it is nailed, then a 10 lbs. hammer can often remove most anything you need and is a great stress reliever but I recomend you use a reciprocating saw to cut the fasteners between the joist and decking. Usually the vibration of the saw and nails being cut will loosen the deck side of the fasteners and allow you to go top side and pull the old nail halves out. Once the old joist and fasteners are out you can carefully work the new joist in place. I recommend fastening the old decking to the new joist with properly coated screws or a hotdipped galvanized rink shank nail. Repeat joist replacement as necessary on other joist.

In order to be considered a UEZ business, a company needs to apply for a UEZ certification, which will also qualify the business for certain tax incentives on its own purchases. In addition, certain products and services are not included in the UEZ program. Cars and other conventional vehicles are excluded from the qualified UEZ products list. A comprehensive list of included and excluded products and services, in addition to business benefits, can be found in a benefits document located at http://www.jcedc.org/Pages/UEZTaxBenefits.pdf.
How does a window sash stay up?
Older sash windows stay up through the use of a rope (called a sash cord) and a counterbalanced lead weight, designed to match the weight of the sash. The sash cord is attached to the side of the sash, runs up the frame and over the top of a small pulley wheel, and then down the other side (hidden behind the frame) to a lead weight. When the sash is raised the weight is lowered, and vice versa.
In modern sash windows and some new timber sash windows, the sash cord and weight system is replaced with spring loaded balances, which are tensioned to make sure that they hold the sash in place rather than pulling it up or letting it drop.
