Mike,
Is it true that ASTM E-96 allows for a 76% acceptable variance for testing
moisture vapor transmission?
Best,
Leland

That's not exactly the language of the precision statement, but essentially, 
yes, it says that a 76% interlaboratory difference is the point at which it

Mary,

In order of your questions....not my knowledge.

I'm a big fan of inside storms. They don't disturb the look of the building.
Older buildings have texture provided in part by the depth of the sash. New
buildings are flat with shiny spots. Inside storms are also easier to
install and remove. 

I like radiant heat, but it's tough to retrofit without some intrusion. When
it's possible to=2
0install as a subfloor, Warmboard is a pretty magical
product. It works extremely well with wood floors and is very easy to
install PEX tubing in.

I've never worked on a spring board floor but I have seen one in a building
which is unfortunately gone now. It was an inn with a spring board floor
dance hall upstairs. From what I understand they were popular in the late
19th century. Other than that, don't know a thing about them.

Maybe this could be the beginning of an ode-- to x and etc. But it's  
not.

It's a few questions with the last one
being the most interesting.

Background: I was talking with a member of the Machias, Maine Grange  
who's also a member of the Beehive Collective. I have to given them a  
lot of credit for bringing
back into service a moribund building and doing it right and in a  
manner that has been respectful of the community.

Anyway, she said they were thinking about weatherizing the windows. I  
hope she is now a member of the religion that keeps the old and thinks  
about a good way to make storm window
s. That's the first question.

The second has to do with her idea to install radiant heat in the  
floors ( it's a bear to heat in downeast winters-- they usually close  
it for the coldest months). I gave her the lowdown as
much as I could re: the maintenance
requirements for a hit water system in that climate and the need for  
more thermal mass than the wood material provides.

The third and most interesting question has to do with the spring  
floor. It's not quite floating. It's somehow loosenable/tightenable  
via a couple of sets of turnbuckles. I recommended she not crank on  
them at all until they find someone who really knows about such  
things. I suggested there might be an oldtimer around there and that  
I'd fly this by you folks.

I suppose the answers to rise questions are multi-faceted (and  
probably have nothing to do with ducks --- oh. How about "duckworks"  
for that glossary?

I am hoping to get some wisdom from you that I can pass on to the  
Grangers. Maybe there's work there for anybody bullamanka-pinheaded on  
any of these questions. They don't have much money (of course, that's  
what they all say). Anyway -- if interested, I can put you in touch  
with each other. Let's hope they check all these out thoroughly first.

And, please, post what you know about spring floors (this one's old).  
I am curious and am guessing that the knowledge is in this group
..

Someone help me get straight on bathroom floors.  
 
1.   OK, so I begin to see mosaic tile floors in bathrooms in the  1880s.  
By "mosaic" I mean marble or marble-like squares, apparently  individually 
set, in irregular patterns, often with decorative  designs.  I imagine they 
were laid and then smoothed in some way, like  sanding.   a) is that stuff 
marble?   b) since it is ground  down (if it is) is that called "terrazzo"?
 
2.    By the 1910s, the typical new-installation  bathroom floor was very 
regular, obviously machine made "tiles", by which I  think I mean ceramic 
units.   a)  In my 1922 apartment house,  they were clearly "batch laid", that 
is, they were made up in sheets off site  and then laid wholesale, then 
grouted.   When did that come in, and  how?     b)  Was there a transition phase 

between the  individual "marble" tiles above and the sheets of very regular 
ceramic  tiles?   
 
3.    Normally, I think of terrazzo as office building  flooring from the 
1920s or later, little bits of aggregate in a matrix, can be  very lovely, 
with=2
0brass strips, etc.  Is that stuff really put down in a  mix, allowed to 
dry and then sanded down 1/16" or so?   That's a lot  of dust.  And how long 
does it take to dry - that must hang up the  work place quite a while.

Time ran slower back then ..and the force of gravity was lower. That's why
we can't take time to build that way any more.and all of the structural
members have to be bigger.

Don't ask me about economics though. That really confuses me.

Subject: Any more BP kid stories?

Leland wants to know:
 >>So is Jon Twentyfive now?  The story makes me laugh because he sounds 
just
like you, except he enjoyed getting paid at a much earlier age.<<

He'll be 40 in June! (I got a early start with wood and with kids) Let's 
see, I think he was about 10 when he was selling his turnings. I think I 
was about the same when my dad sent me across the street to fix a picket 
in our neighbor's fence. The first job I know I got paid for because 
when my dad passed away and I was going through his files I found the 
job sheet. Got paid a dollar sixty five. Anyway, when Jon and I wrote 
the article for Fine Woodworking he was 14. I split the $300 payment 
with him, even up. I recall taking him out to lunch, handing him the 
published issue, and a manila cash envelope stuffed with fives and ones, 
it was about an inch thick and his eyes really bugged on that one.

 >>When did
you start him on documentation and files?<<

I didn't push him on documentation in the shop, because he was busy 
documenting in other directions. When he was ten I showed him how to 
touch-type and he picked right up on it. He was typing daily, up early 
before school, writing science fiction stories. He called it 'typing' 
but really it was writin
g. When he was 13 he had a short science piece 
published in Discovery Magazine, and a longer technical piece in a 
sci-fi gaming magazine. By the time those came out in print he was 
working on sci-fi stories and a novel, which he never got around to 
publishing because he got into learning languages. You know how kids are 
when discovering their talents and place in the world.

   >>How do I get to the FW Archives?<<

The lathe article was reprinted in Fine Woodworking on Spindle Turning. 
Taunton Press, 1987, which you might have on your shelf. WorldCat shows 
it is not at a library near you. This is the problem with the 'big guns' 
publishers, a piece drifts out of print and they are no longer 
interested. I guess it's time to self-publish this one and get it back 
out in the world instead of mouldering away here in my files.

Leland,
I would not use that number with any confidence.  The standard is not
written for mortar and the reported precision and bias may not apply.  To my
knowledge, there has been no interlaboratory testing using E 96 for mortar
or brick.

Is it true that ASTM E-96 allows for a 76% acceptable variance for testing
moisture vapor transmission?

John,
I have long argued that the method does not yield highly reproducible res=0D

 can you recommend as a better method?

I have also long argued that because of the lack of inTERlaboratory preci=

under the same conditions, because the inTRAlaboratory precision is a hel=

Thanks, that saves me the trouble of posting a question comparing the produ=
ct data for two potential acrylic elastomeric coatings for my standing seam=
 metal roof, and whether the modest differences in ASTM-referenced datapoin=
ts provide any substantive reason to choose one over the other.

I think the concept of quantifiable vapor transmission is a hell of a lot
more complex in masonry than it is in homogeneous thin membranes for which E
96 is generally applied.  Brick and mortar have variable permeabilities
dependent on where measured.  Mortar is even more complicated once original
water content, tooling, and aging effects such as carbonation are
considered.  My worry is having people hang their hat o
n a single number
without understanding the biases.  Better method?...Full-scale E 96.  Seal
your entire building with epoxy, heat to 90 degrees, fill your bathtub with
water, enclose the entire building in a Lucite bubble and measure its weight
changes over several weeks.  But seriously, I don't have a problem with the
method, only in how the results are applied to wholesale masonry.
Understand what you're measuring and the results can be illuminating.
Otherwise, it's like assuming that drinking single malt is equivalent to
sucking on a wet burnt log just because you had one sip of Lagavulin.

John,

I have long argued that the method does not yield highly reproducible
results for mortars, but yet you see it referenced over and over in mortar
studies and histopresto grad students think it's g-d's revealed word. What
can you recommend as a better method?

I have also long argued that because of the lack of inTERlaboratory
precision, it is virtually meaningless to compare various manufacturer's
product data sheets. The exception would be studies conducted in the same
lab unde
r the same conditions, because the inTRAlaboratory precision is a
hell of a lot better.

If the following is true:

Lagavulun =3D sucking on a wet burnt log :: Laphroaig =3D chewing a peat =

Then one could conclude that:

Black Label =3D licking the wet char from a summer beam in an 18th =

Which means:

Black Label :: ????

(b) the gelled gasoline in an Old Mr. Boston bottle (in the "well" being =

(c) a case of Clan McGregor in plastic jugs
