 Posted: Fri May 01, 2020 12:49 pm Post subject: AVICC Membership 2020 Updates |
 |
|
Its been a year now since I introduced the AVICC Membership/Sponsorship system so renewal notices are being sent out , doesn't SEEM like a year but a apparently it has been lol
Renewal rate has been a bit slow...but thats perhaps due to the COVID-19 craziness
A couple things I want to add this year as benefits
Testing: Each level will get some amount of free testing (of CPUs I can actually test)
Cleaning: This is one people have asked about, I can clean most CPUs pretty well, including nasty foam on DIPs (assuming the legs strong enough to take it)
I can also clean a lot of nasty off of ceramic CPUs
In other news as AVICC has grown, and especially due to the COVID-19 related shipping problems I am in need of more space....
so AVICC is expanding a bit, I am building a new 8x12 storage building to hold CPUs (is it a probably when you build new large places to store CPUs?)
Its truly a CPU Shack,

| That's pretty cool, and bizarre at the same time. Please post pictures of the building progress, always nice to see. |

I have been taking pics as I build it.
Its a bit overbuilt but needs to protect the CPUs very well

I myself would live in such a house! Great job! Are there vacancies for cleaning the processors and straightening the legs? I have a lot of experience in this matter lol.

Bravo! I hope the processor house will be ready soon Upon completion of construction work, I would like to see the final photos, with a mass of shelves and boxes  |

Had to tell from the photo, but usually you leave a gap between the plywood boards for expansion. Left about 1/2" on my shed.
Looks like this is the second shed back there. Planning on running electrical from the main dwelling? I went solar on my shed, partly to avoid running the electrical underground.

Spec on this plywood (and code) is 1/8" gap top/sides to allow for moisture related swelling, seams will be eventually covered with 1x3 batting
Will eventually run power, not too hard to do, I am a pretty decent electrician
Yah there is another shed behind it with 3 bays, one is Christmas/lawn stuff, another just for shipping boxes and the third has a mix of Computer/Christmas stuff

I originally thought something like 1/8" was sufficient too, but then some carpenter told me they go ~1/2". I didn't believe him, but some time later I was viewing construction sites and sure enough, there was this large gaping slot between the plywood sheets. Any idea why they might set it at 1/2"?
You don't mind digging the trench all the way to the house? That was what turned me to solar (plus cost savings of course). I had dug a long trench for the gutter piping and ripped up pavers, so decided against a power line home run.

would be about 12 foot of trench, not too bad
Honestly 1/2" is a bit much, but does make hanging sheathing go quicker as lots less precision is needed, so they probably doing it for speed more then anything, it leaves a lot less room for nailing it to the studs. A half inch gap means you only get 1/2" to nail to the stud. The plywood has a APA spec rating on it for a reason, its a structural component of the home so really SHOULD be hung within that spec
