One of my clearest childhood memories of my father is watching him barbecue in our backyard. The notable part of this is not the fact that he was cooking meat—barbecuing is an American pastime after all. The interesting part is where this meat cooking occurred. I was raised in New York City, and our “backyard” was about the size of a foyer in most suburban homes. My father and our charcoal brazier took up the majority of available space.

Artificial lighting is a huge part of architecture, but how design pros choose to illuminate their spaces varies. These days, lighting trends are pivoting toward extra large pendants, adjustable fixtures, color, miniature recessed cans, and highly personalized pieces that can double as art, among others.

Having the hair style that I do, every morning I put some skin lotion on the top of my head. As you can imagine, using that little bit of lotion each day makes a bottle last a long long time!
Over the last month plus I could see the end coming. I kept on wondering which day would be the very last day that a push on the pump would bring up that final bit of lotion. Just the other day it finally happened.

I’m going to stop here for a minute. It’s true that your crew works most efficiently when you’re working with them. Even then, they probably won’t work at your pace if you’re the most experienced of the crew. That’s why you shouldn’t estimate labor based on how long it would take you to do the work, it needs to be how long it will take your crew to do it.

The Department of the Treasury (Treasury) recently issued a Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Loan Forgiveness Application Form (the Forgiveness Application) that resolves some important questions regarding how borrowers will compute forgivable loan amounts and what supporting documentation is required to be submitted, maintained and retained in connection with the Forgiveness Application.
