David To: david.simon@cmu.edu Subject: Re: Structural Engineer / Mason? Cc: mws@MASS.SENSOR.RI.CMU.EDU Date: Tue, 7 Jun 94 13:13:28 EDT From: mws@MASS.SENSOR.RI.CMU.EDU Sender: mws@MASS.SENSOR.RI.CMU.EDU David -- Craig Church, office in one of the far southern suburbs, is an excellent structural engineer who is also a qualified architect; he did a fine job for us. I have been told that Dennis Roth, in Sq Hill, is similarly qualified; I was less happy talking to him than to Craig (which is why we hired Craig despite the geographical impediment). Pennsylvania regulations permit any architect to do structural engineering. It is a very bad policy! Two such who should definately be avoided are Ray Schindhoffer (sp?) and Tony Stillson (sp?); they are both very dangerous people. -- Mel Date: Sat, 18 Jun 1994 19:02-EDT From: Marion.Kee@A.NL.CS.CMU.EDU To: David Simon Subject: Re: Structural Engineer / Mason? I don't know if you found someone yet, or not. If you did, just pass this info on to Bovik. John Kaspar, 361-6191 Civil Engineer (Bachelor's from M.I.T., master's from U.Mass.) Works for the City of Pgh. Has a lot of experience building houses (carpentry), major remodeling, etc. Very materials-conscious and has an excellent grasp of structural issues. Can do home inspections, etc. Doesn't have a great deal of extra time right now (summer 1994) because he's engaged in major repairs on his very own handyman's nightmare (like, the roof, the plumbing, the wiring, the interior walls . . .) but has done inspections, consulting and carpentry on a free-lance basis in the past. Probably willing to take smaller jobs even now, certainly by end of year. --Marion
