I have no idea how this company is in their line of work. This review is for the guy that physically and verbally assaulted me and my husband at Starbucks. He was caucasian and driving a Geotechnical Exploration Inc white Toyota truck. I inadvertently "butted" him in line at the drive-through for which I immediately apologized for as he was yelling and cursing at me, while threatening to throw my husband "through the f*cking car window". He then started to put his hands on my husband and I had to drag my husband away to avoid the situation getting worse. Guy, I don't know what your problem is, but I seriously worry about the general public if you are interacting with it in the mental state you are in. You are soooo lucky my husband doesn't want to press charges. I don't even know how your company is still alive when its employees are off their knockers like you. ...read more

They promised their reviews would boost my ranking on search engines. The video they produced and posted on youtube was embarassing. Problem is, once your review is posted on youtube, you can't just take it down.Frankly, I am torked that I spent so much money trying to help my business and wound up getting a video that I don't want customers associating me with. I don't recommend this company. The whole strategy of paid reviews is frowned upon by Google (which I didn't know when I placed the order) and the product delivered is amateuristic. ...read more
It is difficult to fathom how many times we have been asked this question. If we dig a bit deeper and try the Socratic method by asking questions in turn, we get to know the major population asking the question, ‘are the shipping containers secure’, plan to utilize it as a cabin in wilderness. Therefore, they want to be sure while leaving their shipping container homes for a long duration without worrying if there might be any possibility of a thief or burglar breaking in or not. Shipping Containers: Origins and Evolution Let us trace the origins and the purpose of shipping containers to answer our often asked question. Shipping containers were made to be air tight solutions for storage which could not be penetrated and move and transfer various products all over the globe. Actually, during their first use in 1950s, the amount of lost or stolen cargo witnessed a significant reduction as mentioned in a book on the history of shipping containers. Before the introduction of shipping containers, goods were put on ships were either placed in crates, sacks or barrels to break the bulk. There were labourers on the constant lookout for stealing this cargo and this came to be known as the price of shipping. Because of the safety features and provisions of being locked before they were loaded, shipping containers were labelled as much safer options and led to reduction in cargo theft. So going by the various options available, these containers offer maximum security as storage facility that you would ever encounter. However, while converting these containers into their houses, more often than not, they make changes in the metal parts and the overall container structure, thus reducing its security potential. Increasing the safety of Shipping Containers A shipping container which has been converted into a house is equally secure as a conventional house. If you still want to enhance the safety of your shipping container and home which you intent to use as a forest cabin or a hillside retreat house, you would be well-advised to retain the original structure of the container. You can accomplish this by fitting the doors and windows behind the doors of the original ones in the container. By doing this, you have the freedom to leave your container home by sealing the original door with locks. If and when you are camping in this cabin, you can open the original container doors to allow sunshine and some breeze, while also having a fancy interior with some well designed windows and doors, just like any normal house. Now when you know how to secure your container houses, just get down to enjoy the feel of something different. Do drop your thoughts in the comments section below to let us know for what all purposes you use your shipping container home. Written by: Abe Peram ...read more

Hurricanes are nobody’s friend. The thought alone is enough to send shivers down one’s spine. Well, the fact is that it is a natural phenomenon that nobody can really stop. If you cannot stop a hurricane, at least there is something you can do to keep homes and buildings safe. How to have Hurricane Resistant Homes, therefore, is the thrust of this article. What to do to make Hurricane Resistant Homes? Hurricane Protection There is pretty not much you can do to keep the hurricane away from your own. However, you can support your home with the different technologies available in the market today. Window shutters, roof clips, walls and doors reinforcement can help to keep your home intact. Invest in Sturdy Doors There are varieties of doors that have been tested for Hurricane Resistant Homes. These doors were tested using a huge air bladder that replicates EF5 tornado scenarios. Doors that survived the wind pressure and impact challenge are great for your home. You might want to check out the list of the doors and invest in them. With sturdy doors, you can be sure that your home can stand the test of a hurricane. Brace your Garage Door The garage doors are usually the weakest link in homes. When your garage door is destroyed, your home is destroyed as well. Using windowless garage doors that are less than nine feet wide and rated to withstand at least fifty pounds of pressure per square foot can withstand the wind. Also, having a single door in your garage protects your home better than double doors. Reinforcing doors ensures you have Hurricane Resistant Homes. Your door can be secured with a vertical bracing structure that is made of aircraft grade aluminum. This serves as a strong support for your garage door. It fastens into the wall above the garage door. It drills into the floor and into each hinge. This prevents the door from suctioning out or blowing in. Work on your Roof When the winds blow during a hurricane, it applies an internal pressure against the windward wall. It also exerts outward pressure against the leeward wall and sidewalls. And of course, it pushes upward pressing against the roof of the house. The blend of these pressures will split through any weak connections in the home. When the roof is off, the walls are left with no tangential stability. And the walls are inclined to collapse outwards. Keeping the roof intact will definitely help keep your home intact. Investing in hurricane clips, therefore, is important to keep Hurricane Resistant Homes. The hurricane clips connect the rafters to the top plate thereby maximizing the strength of the connection between them. Make the foundation of your house Sturdy After taking care of your windows, garage doors, and your roof, you still have to be concerned about keeping your home structure on the ground. The spinning winds of a hurricane can remove a home from its foundation. Investing in high-tech claddings to keep structures well-grounded is important for Hurricane Resistant Homes. To build a home that is resistant to Hurricane, you need the professional assistance of a company.

I am often asked whether Immigration Officers in the USA conduct themarriage green card interviewsdifferently for same sex married couples, especially those where their partner entered on a B2 visa. The answer is no, but there are different aspects of “proof of marriage” evidence provided during adjustment of status that may make proving that a same sex couple lives together a bit more difficult in some gay marriage cases.When it comes to granting marriage green cards to binational couples,same sex couples are held to the same legal standard as different sex couples. To be granted adjustment of status, the gay married couple must prove (a) one of them is a U.S. Citizen, (b) that they are legally married, and (c) that they live together in a marital relationship. Proving the first two requirements is generally straight forward. Proving the third, that a gay married couple lives together in a marital relationship, can be a bit complicated. In general, the idea is to submit as many joint account statements as possible that list both names and the same address on them. The more accounts held jointly in both names the better, no matter how high the account balance. One obstacle to adding a foreign national spouse’s name to a financial account is their lack of a social security number or ITIN. Foreign nationals who entered the USA on a B1/B2 visa and applied for adjustment of status are not immediately given a social security number of an ITIN number. Immigration Officers are familiar with this dilemma but still expect gay married couples to provide them with proof of at least some joint accounts. Evidence of a joint rental agreement, joint zoo membership or Netflix account or magazine subscription in both names could be obtained, all of which to may not require a social security number or ITIN. Some gay married couples have proudly added both of their names to everything, but others (often for very good reasons) have kept their accounts completely separate. Unfortunately, if a same sex couple applies for a gay marriage based marriage green card, they will be expected to present the same amount of proof of living together at themarriage green card interviewthat a different sex couple is required to submit. If they can’t, they should be able to provide good reasons (in writing) for not doing so, such as a signed written statement, police reports, etc. Another requirement everyone is expected to meet to get the . . .marriage green card is that the same sex couple had interaction with each others’ family. This is proven through the submission of photographs taken at the wedding, holidays and special events. There are many reasons why a same sex couple might not have spent time with each others’ family and/or certain friends. The same sex couple should gather as many photos taken of both of them, as well as photos taken with each other’s family, and put them (2 on a page) on 8 1/2 x 11” paper in chronological order. Does it seem like there are no family or family alternatives in the photos? If you are missing photos of significant moments with significant family, it may be a sign to the Immigration Officer that you are not living together in a marital relationship. You may have a situation where it is just impossible to include key family member in your photos. Either they are deceased, live abroad, or are not supportive of your marriage. In that case be ready to provide an short concise explanation of why your family was not at the wedding and why they are not in the photos. I have found that the interviewing Immigration Officers have an understanding of what it is like for a same sex married couple to deal with discrimination based on sexual preference and disapproval by family members. However, just because family members are not in the photos, it does not excuse the same sex couple from finding other ways to prove that they live together in a “bona fide” marriage. For example, if a same sex couple is missing photos with family members in them, they should try to present more joint financial documents (such as a life insurance policy, joint medical insurance, joint tax return, and/or joint car insurance) at themarriage green card interview to make up for it. On the other hand, if a same sex couple is missing joint financial documents, they should present more photos, affidavits from friends/relatives, joint accounts that do not cost money (joint email address, joint twitter account, etc.) at themarriage green card interviewto make up for it. The interviewing Immigration Officers have had years of experience encountering different sex couples with 25+ years age differences and differing cultures and/or religions. The Immigration Officers are trained to take into consideration all of the circumstances when faced with evaluating the “bona fides” of a marriage, whether it is a bi-national, bi-cultural, split age, or same sex marriage. ...read more
