Putting rebar into masonry is
kinda like sex:
two parts equal a whole and
are interdependent on survival.
Why does a building need to survive,
shift a few inches ever couple years?
Maybe if you did the calculations right
you wouldn’t be in this predicament
Soil is the variable;
solve the XY chromosomes
cause we are looking shaky.
