The marble statue of David by Michelangelo is displayed in Florence, Italy, and will likely never be seen locally. As of tomorrow, however, Louisville will be able to boast its own replica which will stand 30′ tall on an 8′ high base. To those who would scoff at the necessity of such a height, please consider the fact if you are going to be noticed only a slingshot stone’s throw away from the Louisville Slugger bat that stands six stories tall, 38′ doesn’t seem out of the question.

In today’s Courier Journal article (http://www.courier-journal.com/article/20120501/FEATURES/305010071?fb_ref=artsharetop&fb_source=home_multiline ) by Elizabeth Kramer, you can see a picture of the statue as it reclines on a flatbed truck in New York ready to continue its trek from Turkey to Louisville. You may also notice the first replica collapsed soon after it was installed in Istanbul. To ensure our David doesn’t meet the same fate, United Dynamics, Inc. was called upon to provide a deep foundation solution.

Last week, our crew installed four helical piles into the dense sands beneath Louisville to a depth of approximately 37′. These piles will support the base upon which David will stand, each having an ultimate capacity of over 32 tons. While our masterpiece is hidden from view, we are very grateful to be included in this epic art project for our community so another masterpiece can be seen.

By the way, if the Frazier History Museum decides they want to put up a 40.5′ Goliath statue in full armament on an 8′ base, we’re in!

E●Z Breathe® Makes Indoor Air Quality Safe

Keep a Healthy Lifestyle with Healthy Indoor Air

According to the World Health Organization, “Every year, indoor air pollution is responsible for the death of 1.6 million people – that’s one death every 20 seconds.”¹ Chemicals used for cleaning, cooking, doing laundry; products such as hair spray, nail polish, paint; petting the family dog; materials used in the construction process of the home contribute to air pollution indoors. As homes become more energy efficient, hazardous chemicals remain trapped in the home with no means to escape. The Home Ventilation Institute urges, “Every home needs ventilation to protect people from unhealthy indoor pollutants and to protect the building from excess moisture and heat.”² The E●Z Breathe Home Ventilation System expels air contaminants in the home to create healthier, balanced living spaces.

Keeping indoor air fresh and clean should not be a difficult task or a problem, but a solution to healthier living conditions for the home and the family. Homes that lack proper ventilation are constantly recycling the same stale air, breathed by kids, pets, and seniors, which could lead to potential health risk. With an effective ventilation solution such as the E●Z Breathe System, indoor air pollution will be eliminated and replaced with cleaner air.

The E●Z Breathe Ventilation System is designed to rid the home of harmful moisture and humidity, not re-circulate polluted air. E●Z Breathe ventilates by drawing moist, stale, contaminated air out of the home, replenishes by replacing moist air with fresh dry air and regulates airflow to reach and maintain a desired level of humidity. Maintenance free and easy to operate, the E●Z Breathe is filter-free, cartridge-free and has no buckets of water to empty. Soundless home air exchanges occur up to ten times each day, covering up to 7000 square feet and operating at a mere $2-$4 per month! The large capacity E●Z Breathe does work comparable to seven dehumidifiers while maintaining a slim profile which allows the unit to fit easily into any room in the house.

E●Z Breathe users are noticing the difference in air quality of the home:

“Now when we enter our house, it feels like we’re walking into a new home! E●Z Breathe® has helped to solve our moisture and mold problem, and completely removed the stale, musty odor — for good. Thank you!”

— Richard and Tonya Spraggins

“The E●Z Breathe® is one of the best investments we have ever made. The house has a fresh and clean smell all the time, no more musky smell in the basement. Cooking odors disappear faster. The system is very quiet and the warranty is unbeatable.”

— Bobby D. Rhinehard
