I have been working with DL4J like crazy and figured I would leave a post up about it. Here is a github with the example projects. https://github.com/cagneymoreau/RoadMap I created the Git because I had all these small projects that are sequential and nature and thought. Might as well post them in case someone else is […]

System -> model -> model -> System
What is the difference between working hard and working smart? I attempt to define that here. A very long time ago I read a Richard Maybury book and it touched on how the brain is attempting to model how the world around it works. Being a curious person and always trying to sharpen my understanding […]
Foot Candle Light Meter
The foot candle light meter is one of the first apps developed. Very simple yet handy for construction professionals. Most, if not all, smartphones have an ambient light sensor which is used to control screen brightness. This hardware is designed and programmed by the manufacturer. So its very hard for me as a consumer and […]
Commercial property construction as an investment
When performing construction work to a commercial property it only makes sense to consider these expenses as an investment. Will that investment pay off? Are there other, better, investment opportunities? Will I be able to get this same work later for more or less expense? Will delaying this work accrue extra damages if not performed […]
Crossfit Gym Construction
This was a gym construction in which I did the majority of the work and the owner pitched in or used friends for certain things he could get done at the friend price. Here is a picture of day 1. Someone else did the demo and we just showed up to take a look around. […]
Waterproofing second floor restroom
This job was in Carson a. A customer from a previous job asked me to waterproof a new bathroom installation because of a leak that had gone into the IT room below. Whenever someone installs a toilet there is a question of whether to caulk or silicon around the base. Here is my two cents. […]
Rain water leaking into side of building
This warehouse is built against a small hill. As you can see in the pictures there are existing rain gutters that run into a concrete v gutter. This is how the water is supposed to tun away from the building. However you can clearly see that soil erosion keeps falling into the gutter and blocking the path of the water attempting to flow away. The long term effect is water pooling along he v gutter and flowing into the space between the building and the hill.
Roof hatch installation
This was a job in Santa Ana Ca. A customer had had me bid a larger 1+ million dollar project for them but had awarded it to another contractor. The project ended up being way behind schedule and way over budget. This is always unfortunate and I really would rather not come […]

New single office
One of the best reasons to call me is versatility. I can do the framing, electrical, plumbing, HVAC and drywall all with the tools I already have on the back of my truck. This job is a perfect example. This customer was moving into a new warehouse and was short one office. So they requested […]
