How far can you see before the earth curves?

A better answer is to use the ocean that refers to sea level as a constant. Land cannot be considered. A telescope or binoculars would also be required. We are talking about the level of the earth dropping. Several buoys 6ft. in height set in the water at say 1/2 mile intervals, depending on the accuracy needed. A telescopic camera would be ideal This would be the best way to determine number of feet the earth drops from it's own curvature. Mr. Bill


How far up the wall should you place your trim?

If you are talking about finishing trim on half walls then most people opt for 42" or 48". If you mean finishing trim on a full wall that does not reach the ceiling then 1 foot below the ceiling is the usual. If you meant a decorative border then right below either of the other trims or at eye level.

How far can a 2x12 span?

The maximum span for a 2x12 beam depends on various factors, including the type of wood, load conditions, and whether it's used for floor joists or beams. Generally, a 2x12 can span approximately 16 to 20 feet for residential floor joists, assuming a typical load of 40 pounds per square foot. For heavier loads or different wood types, it's crucial to consult local building codes or a structural engineer for precise calculations.
