Brian MacNeish:

Have you ever posted on the OAHI Forum ??  Do you or have you ever had access to the OAHI Forum??

Raymond Wand believes you have and I am questioning it.  We're not fighting about it, but I just want to see if through some quirk you managed to gain access.

Thanks
Bill Mullen

I did not say Brian posted on OAHI, I said his name is on the list of those who have access to clarify. 

My name is not on the list but I have access so you see Roys claim is not without merit.

Raymond:

That's just wordplay and you know it.   We all know that we were discussing 'authorized' access.  Heck, it's also possible to get 'unauthorized' access to any forum, even PHPIO's if one is so inclined.

Not word play Bill - you are reading into what I wrote that which is not there.

Why just this evening I was reading what was posted by you and others on the OAHI forum.

Brian I like it when you are politically correct!

whats really funny is we give everyone access, and no one gives me access to anything anymore.
The secrets are to be avoided if as a collective we actually could chat and make comments on other boards then we could actually strive towards a solution to the quandry we find ourselves in.

wish you all well on your selective membership only boards, where the selected few are allowed to be heard.

I am happy that we have a registration only board and anyone no matter what association or lack there of has access to the flow of information. We do not disallow any person the ability to post, read and become part of the conversation.

One day I hope this will change and those that continue to say they want to help the industry will actually take a proactive approach and begin to actually start to help the industry....

Dangerous Deck Collapses Blamed for Serious Injuries and Deaths

Over the last three months, several stories about deck collapses have made headlines nationwide. What often begins as a celebration quickly turns into terror when people are injured or killed due to a deck collapse. On the Fourth of July, a 25-year-old man from Alabama was killed and six people were injured when the deck they were celebrating on collapsed. That same day, a deck collapse in Georgia injured several adults, including one reported head injury. The list goes on and on. According to a deck injury study by the North American Deck and Railing Association, thousands of people have been injured and several have been killed due to deck collapses since 2003. The most tragic incident was in 2003 when a deck collapsed and killed 13 people and injured 57 others.

What causes a deck to collapse?

There are several reasons why a deck may collapse. Deterioration such as rotted wood, cracks, corroded hardware; missing or loose connections; and excessive weight are all contributing factors. The Home Safety Council offers information on deck inspection and safety. Regular inspection and maintenance are crucial in order to avoid injuries or even death from occurring. It may sound like common sense, but making sure a deck is securely attached to a home is crucial. A May 2010 deck collapse that injured nearly 30 students in Virginia happened because the deck was not properly attached to the home, according to investigators.

Premises liability

Homeowners, including apartment and condo owners, have a responsibility to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition in order to prevent injury to their guests and tenants. If you or a loved one has been injured due to the neglect of a property owner, a premises liability lawyer can help you understand what compensation you may be entitled to.
