We’re So Buzzed About Our 100th Blog Post, We’re Giving Away Coffee!
Back on February 17, 2014, The Big A blog said “hello, world!” with our initial post. In the months since then, we’ve blogged about all sorts of things – from the Tower Challenge at Parkview Middle School in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin, to the challenge of monitoring sanitary sewers in Colorado; from heading off problems by inspecting bridges to protecting your head with the right hard hat; from tracking Santa to keeping construction schedules on track.
And all of a sudden – today – we’ve reached our 100th post! Throughout this blogging journey our goal has been to inform, educate, and even entertain. And we’re not done yet. We have many more stories to share, and you can continue to count on finding something new on this site every week.
But after 100 blog posts, we’re wondering what you would like to know more about. Do you have questions that our architects, engineers, scientists, surveyors, and other professionals could answer? Please share, and help us provide more news you can use. Please comment below with questions for our experts.
As a bit of encouragement, we’re giving away a $25 Starbucks gift card. We’ll randomly select a winner from all those who leave a comment. We may also gift you with an Ayres Associates logo item if we select your question to answer in a future blog post.
So ask away! We look forward to hearing your questions and continuing with another 100 weekly conversations … and then some.
The contest closes at 11 p.m. Central time on June 24. Be sure to check back on June 25 when we will announce the winner of the 100th blog post contest. Ayres Associates employees and their immediate families are not eligible for the contest.

No question, just encouragement — best of luck to the AYRES gang!
I’ve seen some of your work and designs…beautiful! I’m sure you will be around for years to come. I have a granddaughter, ok…she’s only 4, BUT she’s already showing signs of either an engineer or architect. We’ll send her your way in 20 years! ( alittle humor for your Thursday morning).
Keep up the wonderful designs and work you do. Congrats on 100 blogs.
Which project has inspired your imagination (you can choose who “you” is) the most?
I have a new house with divider strips in most of my windows. My architect person keeps referring to them at “muntins”, but others call them “mullions”. Is there really that much of a difference? Outside of decoration, is there any purpose for them, or did I just pay more money for the joy of getting to clean around them?? 🙂
Great work.
A friend of mine has a townhome and is having issues with the deck. Apparently the clay in the ground is pushing the footings up and the decks are askew, causing havoc. The builder says they’ve met code. My sincere question is this: has there ever been a time when a building code hasn’t made sense and you’ve changed a design as a result? If so, what and how? Thanks!
sweet!
How is the duck family doing outside the wonderful caretaker’s window?
You’ve designed several bike trails. What are the benefits when governments invest in public recreational spaces?
With all the LIDAR data you’ve collected over the years what are some of the most interesting features you’ve seen within the data?
How do you capture and deliver on the human element of a project?
What are the pros / cons of metal vs. asphalt shingles on residential structures?
Go team Ayres!
What projects have you done in eau claire and chippewa area?
CONGRATS, on reaching your 100th blog post!!!
Congratulations Ayres on your 100th post, well done! No question at the moment, but I’ll be sure to return to your blog if I do.
