China – 3,980,650bbl/dayĬhina is the only country in East Asia to make the top 10, with a production rate of just under 4mbbl/day.Ĭhina is also the world’s largest importer of crude oil, importing an estimated 8.4mbbl/day. These sanctions have caused global oil prices to rise, and have deterred investment in Iran’s oil and gas sector from overseas companies. Iran has also faced some trouble with its oil and gas industry recently, with the US imposing sanctions on the country’s oil imports in November 2018 over Iran’s nuclear programme. The country has proven crude oil resources of approximately 156 million barrels, which represents roughly 10% of the world’s proven resources. Iran is the third largest producer in OPEC, with a production rate of just under 4mbbl/day. The country has recently had to contend with a number of challenges in its oil and gas industry, including regulatory conflicts and delays in developing supply facilities to boost production. ![]() Iraq also has the fifth-largest proven oil reserves, with an estimated 140 billion barrels of proven crude oil. Iraq is the second-largest producer in OPEC, with a production rate of over 4mbbl/day. Saudi Arabia is also home to energy multinational Saudi Aramco, one of the world’s largest companies. Its oil and gas sector accounts for about 50% of gross domestic product, and about 70% of export earnings. The country contains approximately 18% of global proven petroleum reserves and is the world’s largest exporter of petroleum. ![]() Nominal Composition in Percentage:ĪMS 5524, -ASTM A313, ASTM A 580, MIL-S- 5059Dģ00 Series-austenitic chromium-nickel alloys Equipment in the chemical, food, paper, mining, pharmaceutical and petroleum industries often includes 316 Stainless Steel. Type 316/316L is a chromium nickel austenitic stainless steel containing molybdenum. Type 301-highly ductile, for formed products.The molybdenum addition enhances the corrosion resistance over that of 304/304L in halide environments as well as in reducing acids such as sulfuric and phosphoric acid. Type 316L can be dual certified as 316 when the composition meets the lower. Also hardens rapidly during mechanical working. ![]() Type 302-same corrosion resistance as 304, with slightly higher strength due to added carbon.īetter wear resistance and fatigue strength than 304.Type 303-free machining version of 304 via addition of sulfur and phosphorus.Type 304-the most common grade the classic 18/8 (18% chromium, 8% nickel) stainless steel.Īlso referred to as "A1" in accordance with ISO 3506.Outside of the US it is commonly known as "A2 stainless steel", in accordance with ISO 3506 (not to be confused with A2 tool steel). Type 316-the second most common grade (after 304) for food and surgical stainless steel uses alloy addition of molybdenum prevents specific forms of corrosion. Stainless steel is known to be corrosion resistant, but its performance can vary depending on the type and duration of chemical exposure. It is also known as marine grade stainless steel due to its increased resistance to chloride corrosion compared to type 304. I sawed the logs (6,000 lineal feet of them) with a Granberg chainsaw mill, peeled them, and dipped them in Cuprinol wood preservative.ĭuring 21 years of living in this home I've dealt with carpenter ants, spiders, and rot in the logs, especially around the windows that are exposed to the weather. It's a story-and-a-half, gambrel-roof style. I built a log home out of red pine in 1979. That's just MY opinion form your own, but either way, I wish you luck. ![]() When someone asks me about a log home kit, I try to talk them into a conventionally framed home every chance I get. Not to mention that the window and door wells will be extra wide. If you build the home and want to finish the inside with drywall, then you will still have to frame walls inside, so you spent all of this time and money on logs for merely a siding. If you want the exterior to look like a log home, get log-shaped siding. This does not crack as full logs would.Īs a homebuilder, I can give you my opinion on log homes they're not worth having. It is shaped to look like the building is a log cabin. If it is the appearence you want you can get log siding called "half logs." You use this on stud-framed houses. Besides, you can always finish off the inside with homemade wood paneling or sheetrock. They all split, although the kit ones not so bad. I have helped build three log cabins, two from kits, and one from logs we cut ourselves. This kerf runs the length of the log and will absorb most of the cracking. (The "bottom" referred to is after the log is in place, so you need to have the future in mind). However, one thing you could do is to make a deep cut in the bottom of the log when it is first peeled. Sure I am biased, but I suggest you talk to people who live in log homes and get the straight scoop. I've seen lots of neat cabins and have built a few myself that consume a lot less trees than those log cabins, nor do they keep shrinking and cracking for a decade or more!Īnd that beautiful, light, shiny appearance doesn't last long. (The cracks are great for raising spiders.) They are now living in energy-efficient homes and quite puzzled as to why people now want log homes. This area was opened up by folks that started with log cabins because they had a huge surplus of logs and no fiberglass. ![]() Should I be concerned? Some cracks were over 1/4-inch wide, and 18 to 24 inches long.įrom my experience those cracks will get a whole lot wider and longer, so you can guess where the "filler" is going to end up! I questioned the builder and his response was that the logs were "air-dried," and that he would be putting "sealer" in the cracks. The model I looked at had extensive cracks in the pine logs, both inside and outside. ![]() I still have a lot of fatigue and aching bones but way better than a year ago. Happy to report the cancer has been in full remission for several month's. The cancer caused 10 compression fractures in my vertebrae and I had 2 vertebroplasty procedures to basically glue my back together with bone cement. It has a good success rate but a long recovery. I have more time now being on disability but basically the same time as covid hit I was diagnosed with a type of bone marrow cancer and spent a lot of time in hospital and still recovering from a stem cell transplant where they basically take the good stem cells out of your blood, freeze them, fill your veins with strong chemo drugs and a couple weeks later thaw your stem cells and put them back in. I had a full time job at the time so couldn't commit to spending weekdays on the oval track. It's not too bad just digging a stock pile and loading the truck but the initial work for the track would have taken way too long with such a small machine. Now with cars being more interested in the track we are banking the corners more so I've been digging and hauling probably another 50 loads of clay from another part of the property. Didn't have enough clay to do the full 65ft. and later the operating engineers head grader instructor brought a brand new Cat 140 down for a couple days to put a slope on the track. Have had the gravel pit help with a grader(no cost), the county for a few hours at a very reasonable $100/hr. A 200 series excavator loaded the clay directly into the dump truck is where having the truck really paid off. Work involved clearing about 8 acres of bush, stripping topsoil down to clay for a 1/4 mile oval track, digging 2 pits to bury bush(and cover), using the clay to build up the oval track and spreading the clay relatively flat on the oval. We actually saved a lot of time and money because I had a dump truck to haul material instead of pushing it. We weren't happy about the excessive time it took to complete it. We didn't have a choice but by the hour for the work we wanted and additional work was added. If costumer insist in hiring by hour for deep jobs, they run the THR back and talk the all day getting the experience our fella welder dave had. wich pretty often could be done by other cheap equipment. Hiring by hour here is only limited to small day jobs. and u don´t need to WOT all day long, fuel cost ends up being the manager. this type of machines do tend to keep their value. ![]() Very often if one has a 50k job equivalent, one has time and knowledge, buying a "D6" type machine used but not too used able to run for lets say 300 hrs. Basically if one has a job for deep digging ripping and pushing one shall search a contractor for complete job, the cheapest way. 165 goes for R´s N´s and newer models wich are much more productive. If we were to pay 165USD equivalent for a D6 size machine, i´m pretty shure a D6C wouldn´t last the job. He was even told not to remove more but did anyway. The FIL caused a lot of extra work for us because he took out too much material that we had to haul multiple loads to fill back up. Well you're not exactly a customer paying 25K to hire a contractor because you want something completed in a timely manner. What really irked me was his FIL saying he has to wait to get work done on the farm. There were times he said he would be there and never showed up, no call no nothing. ![]() He should have been upfront if he was basically trying to run a farm mostly by himself at the same time. I think if the guy took the job he should have been committed to it, not a week here then a week off then a couple days and another week or 2 off. Total job was about 25K and shouldn't have taken over 6 month's to complete. The job took many month's to finally complete so the good deal on the rate was kind of a wash. ![]() Annoyed me when his FIL butted into the conversation regarding payment and the time it was taking. He was a good operator, his FIL not so much. Guy did a good job except when he had his father in law come to help him with finishing using a smaller Case 850K(I think). No charge for transport if more than 8 hours (basically 1 day). If the 700J is more productive than the old D6 you should charge a little more on hourly jobs.Ī few years back hired an 850J and got a good deal at $150/hr. A clause for unforseen obstacles may be part of the contract too. Transport may or may not be extra depending on how long at the job. I'd guess the rates include fuel and operator like is common in N. ![]() I tried to work with it at first, but it got really annoying as time went on, misswiping and simply trying to get shots of something every other moment, although it keeps playing if I'm using my Voice Memos app at the same time, curiously enough.

Though emotionally gripping, Pandora Hearts is rarely dark and angsty, favouring quirky, likeable characters and a humourous, tongue-in-cheek storytelling style. This theme of loss and the struggle to regain or find acceptance is by no means a new one to either drama or anime/manga, but in Pandora Hearts it is approached in a sensitive, original, and surprisingly light-hearted, pleasing manner. With each of these suggestions, I refer to a particular character in the story whose struggle with loss ![]() When you lose everything and end up with nothing, how do you pick yourself up and move on? Do you lash out in anger and bitterness, hiding your wounds? Do you allow the emptiness inside you to shut out any emotional reaction, numbly accepting your fate? Do you desperately search everywhere for what remains of you, hoping to piece yourself back together? Or do you fear losing again so much that you spend all your time protecting what you already have, nearly crushing it in your tight grasp? Assisted by a mysterious Chain named Alice, whose nickname is "Bloodstained Black Rabbit," and members of a clandestine organization known as "Pandora," Oz begins to realize his existence may have more meaning than he could have ever imagined. Now, he must confront the world of the Abyss and its dwellers, the monstrous "Chains," which are both not quite as fake as he once believed.īased on the supernatural fantasy manga of the same name, Pandora Hearts tells the story of fifteen-year-old Oz's journey to discover the meaning behind the strange events that have overtaken his life. However, when Oz's coming-of-age ceremony is interrupted by the malicious Baskerville Clan intent on banishing him into the depths of the Abyss, the Vessalius heir realizes that his peaceful life of luxury is at its end. To young Oz Vessalius, heir to the Vessalius Duke House, the perilous world called the Abyss is nothing more than a folktale used to scare misbehaving children. |
