Binders have been thrown out and we are now "paperless"
I keep the cool samples, take home the useful ones and toss the rest after the requisite "project data retainage time". Now-a-days, I often tell the contractor not to waste samples and I photo them on site and submit the approval in paper only. Digital photos, pdfs and all.
Back during the EPDM craze, I recall a friend of mine considering changing the required 10" square sample of EPDM to 10-FEET. He figured in a few years he could redo his roof.

Christopher,

How do you decide what books to give up?  And for the design folks, how to deal with samples and manufacturers books, binders, etc.?

Best,

Leland

Surgical removal of the stick and surrounding lung tissue through thoracotomy and partial lung lobectomies resulted in full clinical recovery.
