Reading & Writing Assignment

Readings Selected:
The readings that I selected for this assignment were: “Abrasive Blasting for Mold Remediation”, by Nick Gromicko and Ethan Ward and “Adjustable Steel Columns”, by Nick Gromicko and Kenton Shepard
Essay:
Without wishing to curry favor with Nick, who was the lead author on both of these articles, I found them to be clear, concise, informative and refreshingly void of the confusing technical jargon that some authors find necessary to justify their high station in life.
While I was heavily involved with the “great Texas mold fiasco” of 2001 through 2003, I was not aware of abrasive blasting as a technique for mold remediation. Similarly (and more embarrassingly), it had never occurred to me to inspect screw-jacks very closely. I had presumed that they were fulfilling their function if they were not distorted. I’ll inspect more closely in future.
