Winston Bros. Company Contractor 195(2?) [Photo taken by Scott Fajack on February 10, 2024 at N. Vista Del Mar Avenue and Dix St. in Franklin Village neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA]

Fendall Gregory Winston was born to William Overton and Sarah Anne Winston on May 1, 1849 in Hanover County, Virginia and died on February 2, 1928 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. He was "prominently identified [with Minneapolis] from pioneer times to the present." In 1875, he "associated with his brother, P. B. Winston, under the firm name of Winston Brothers, for the business of railroad contracting. The next year William O. Winston, another brother, was taken into partnership" (History of Minneapolis, Gateway to the Northwest, The S J Clarke Publishing Co, 1923 via FindaGrave.com). According to an obituary the company wrote, he was "almost the last of trail blazers who in the latter half of the past century prepared the way and laid a network of steel over the vacant prairies, and lines across the lonely mountains of the West, which today provide the highways for a vast and ever-growing commerce."

His brother, P. B., was Philip Bickerton Winston, born August 12, 1846 in Hanover, Virginia and died July 1, 1901 in Chicago, Illinois. He was a farmer before fighting in the Civil War (on the side of the Confederacy), and then a farmer again. After 1872, he became a railroad engineer and contractor, and then mayor of Minneapolis!

Another brother was William Overton Winston, Jr. was the "dean of the general contractors of the United States," according to a notice of his death in "At the Cross Roads by STOP and GO" in the "Personals" section (I'm pretty sure the C. is a typo in the text itself). What a lofty compliment! He was born February 6, 1853 in Hanover County, Virginia and died March 15, 1927 in Los Angeles at 74 years old, at which time he was president of the Winston-Dear Co. and chairman of the board of directors of the aforementioned Winston Bros. Company in Minneapolis. His body was sent back to Minneapolis to be buried (FindaGrave.com). There were actually many obituaries publishing for him and multiples that called him the 'dean'; he was apparently a titan of the industry. He had joined his brothers in the business in 1875. They did a lot, including railway construction, "irrigation, drainage, reservoirs, highways, hydro-electric plants, large structures and other construction." At the time of his death, the Winston Bros. Co. was building a railroad for the Republic of Colombia and "did a great deal of work for the U. S. reclamation service" (Engineer and Contract, Volume 66, 1927). His obituaries were SO glowing. One said: "No contractor probably ever had a larger or more devoted following of sub-contractors, workers and other associates in his business." Another called him the "Grand old man of construction" and compared him to Henry Clay and George Washington. There's more: "He was an inspiration to many younger men who rallied to his leadership and were proud to call him 'Daddy.' Finally, he was described as "the kindly old gentleman whom thousands loved, this symbol of a bygone and less commercial age" ("Say Not 'Good Night,' Henry H. Wilson, Engineer and Contract, Volume 66, 1927). He had two to three sons, one of which was a vice president of Winston Bros. Co. (William O. Winston, III) in Minneapolis. The above photo of him is from his January 1925 passport application for travel to Colombia with his wife, according to E. Middleton who uploaded it to Find a Grave.

They also had three sisters; Elizabeth, Frances, Sarah; and another brother (FindaGrave.com).

"Winston Bros. Co. was incorporated in Minnesota in 1902, taking over the business of the partnership of Winston Bros., who began contracting work in 1875" (Contractors and Engineers Monthly, Volume 17, Buttenheim-Dix Publishing Corporation, 1928). They incorporated once P. B. died - F. G. was president and W. O. was vice-president initially. And, in 1903, they started the associated corporation Winston-Dear Co., which focused on mining. Some jobs Winston-Dear Co. did include: raising track, lengthening openings to allow the water to escape, and widening the shoulders of the embankments of the Missouri Pacific Railroad (using "two trains of Western 20-yard Automatic air dump cars to haul their material, and a Marion 75 shovel to do the digging").

Unfortunately, Winston-Dear Company was listed numerous times in the "Statements of Fatal Accidents in and Around the Mines of St. Louis County, Minnesota, for the Year Ending June 30, 1907," which was included in Executive Documents of the State of Minnesota for the Year, 1908. The causes of death were very brutal and I will spare you by not listing the details here.

The Dear was Richard Brierly Dear, a railroad contractor from Virginia. He joined forces with the Winstons in 1885 and he ran their mining operations. His obituary states: "Few men started with less and accomplished more than he, and his usual career will always be looked upon as strikingly emblematic of those laudable characteristics which reveal American manhood in its most virile and inspiring form." He died in 1909 (The National Cyclopedia of American Biography, Volume 17, J. T. White, 1921).

The Associated General Contractors of America formed from general contractors in the east and mid-west America to present "each division of general contracting--buildings, highways, bridges, public works and general heavy engineering" in 1919 after WW1, in which they felt under-organized and ill-equipped in their interactions with the U.S. federal government. W. O. Winston of Minneapolis was their first president third vice-president. He served as a member of their board of directors until he died. As an aside, Arthur S. Bent was a director of the group, so I'm going to go update that post! ("General Contractors Plan Strong Organization," Southwest Builder and Contractor, Volume 55, March 12, 1920, pg. 10-11, F. W. Dodge Company, 1920 & Engineer and Contract, Volume 66, 1927).

By 1923, the firm was one of the largest railroad contracting firms in America and by that time had operated in Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Texas, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin!! They hadn't made it to California, yet. F. G. Winston was also a failed candidate for lieutenant governor of Minnesota (History of Minneapolis, Gateway to the Northwest, The S J Clarke Publishing Co, 1923 via FindaGrave.com).

By 1927, they had worked in eight additional states, plus Canada and South America. In that year, the Winston Bros Co. associated with Henry H. Wilson from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania to form the very unwieldily named "Winston Bros. Co. & H. H. Wilson." According to this update, Winston Bros. had been in business for more than fifty years by that time in general construction "including interest in the construction of more than 8,000 miles of railroad" (The Highway Engineer & Contractor, Volume 17, International Trade Press, Incorporated, 1927). In 1928, they were "interested at present in the construction of bridges over the Ohio River." There also seemed to be a Winston & Co. in both Kingston, NY and Richmond, VA, but it seems that oddly it's just coincidence that they were connected with H. H. Wilson, too. He continued to be "a special partner in charge of the crushed stone business of his former associates in construction" once he formed his associated with our Winston Bros.

It seems that in 1928, the Winston. Brothers Company acquired all stock of Winston-Dear Co ("Winston Brothers Company, Petitioner, v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, Respondent, Docket No. 59270. Promulgated January 24, 1934." Reports of the U.S. Board of Tax Appeals, Volume 29, United States Board of Tax Appeals, U.S. Government Printing Office, 1934). After the consolidation, the headquarters continued to be in Minneapolis, but they also had branch offices in St. Louis, Missouri; Seattle, Washington; Steubenville, Ohio; and Medellin, Republic of Colombia (The Earth Mover: A Monthly Magazine for Earth and Stone Movers, Volume 15, Burton Publishing Company, 1928).

It's hard to find anything about them in Los Angeles, other than Jr. dying there. I did find a couple employees of possibly the same company, though: J B Gotcher and Ira A Dyess, both carpenters for Winston Bros listed in a 1952-1953 directory (Santa Monica, Brentwood Heights, and Ocean Park City Directory 1952-1953, accessed via the Los Angeles Public Library Historic City and Business & Phone Directories collection).

They still existed for sure as late as 1958, as they are included in a list of "construction contractors in the United States for the years 1958, 1959, 1960, and 1961 whose total volume of work was over $25 million."

The Impact of Bitcoin's Surge on Architecture and Construction In recent years, Bitcoin has captured the world’s attention, not only as a financial tool but as an element that is influencing industries far and wide, including construction and architecture. As Bitcoin's price skyrockets, currently valued at over $60,000 per coin, its impact is spilling over into sectors traditionally viewed as separate from cryptocurrencies. But how exactly does this surge affect the construction industry, and what role might architecture play in this evolving financial landscape? Bitcoin Gains and Investment in Construction Historically, periods of increased cryptocurrency values have seen a rise in discretionary spending and alternative investments. A 2022 survey by Deloitte indicated that approximately 35% of high-net-worth individuals involved in crypto allocate their gains towards real estate investments. With Bitcoin's recent surge, many individuals and even institutions are seeking to diversify their newfound wealth into physical assets, driving up demand for bespoke architectural projects, luxury homes, and even commercial developments. For contractors and developers, this influx of Bitcoin-generated capital presents both opportunities and challenges. Developers are increasingly encountering clients who wish to transact in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, and accepting crypto payments is slowly becoming an emerging trend. According to a 2023 report by Construction Dive, roughly 10% of luxury construction projects in the United States are now open to cryptocurrency payments, a significant leap from just a few years ago. The Cost of Materials and Bitcoin Volatility Another interesting connection lies in the volatility of Bitcoin prices and its indirect impact on the cost of construction materials. When Bitcoin surges, some investors choose to cash out and invest in infrastructure, leading to increased demand for materials like steel, concrete, and glass. This demand can lead to supply chain disruptions and price hikes for these materials. For example, during Bitcoin's major price surge in late 2021, the price of construction-grade steel rose by 15% in just three months, partially driven by an increase in demand from cryptocurrency investors pouring capital into real estate projects. Conversely, Bitcoin’s volatility can also mean sudden pauses or cancellations in projects. Contractors and architects may find themselves in a precarious position if a client’s ability to fund a project changes due to fluctuations in their cryptocurrency holdings. This instability necessitates a different approach to project management, including flexible contracts and contingency plans for sudden funding changes. Bitcoin Mining, Energy Use, and Sustainable Architecture Bitcoin mining is notorious for its high energy consumption. In 2023, it was estimated that Bitcoin mining accounted for approximately 0.5% of the world’s electricity consumption. This has led to growing concerns about sustainability, which architects and builders are increasingly being asked to address. As cryptocurrency wealth fuels more building projects, there's a parallel push to ensure these structures are energy-efficient and environmentally responsible. Many new architectural projects funded by cryptocurrency investors are focusing on sustainability as a core principle. For instance, projects like The Satoshi Residence in Los Angeles, funded entirely through Bitcoin, have embraced sustainable building practices, including solar power, recycled building materials, and advanced water-saving technologies. This trend highlights a paradox: Bitcoin's energy-intensive mining process funding projects that emphasize environmental consciousness. Architects and the Rise of Crypto-Friendly Spaces As cryptocurrencies become more mainstream, architects are also adapting by designing crypto-friendly spaces. These include residences with in-built cryptocurrency mining rooms spaces designed with enhanced cooling systems and specialized electrical setups. In Dubai, a developer announced plans in 2022 for a luxury apartment building that would include an entire floor dedicated to cryptocurrency mining, reflecting the unique needs of crypto-enthusiast clients. Additionally, architectural firms are beginning to experiment with blockchain technology for project management and smart contracts. Blockchain's transparency and security make it an appealing tool for managing large construction projects with multiple stakeholders. In 2024, 30% of large-scale construction projects in the UAE reported experimenting with blockchain-based contract management to mitigate the risks associated with traditional paper-based processes. The Future Outlook Looking ahead, the relationship between Bitcoin and the architecture and construction industries will likely continue evolving. If Bitcoin maintains its upward trajectory, we can expect to see more real estate transactions involving cryptocurrencies, more demand for high-end, custom-built properties, and an increasing emphasis on integrating sustainable practices to counteract the environmental impact of Bitcoin mining. In conclusion, Bitcoin's influence extends beyond just the financial world it's reshaping how we think about building and design. From funding luxurious, sustainable homes to necessitating new project management techniques, the ripple effects of cryptocurrency's rise are being felt throughout the architectural and construction landscapes. For architects, builders, and developers, embracing this change and understanding its complexities will be key to thriving in a Bitcoin-influenced future. https://archup.net/8-well-designed-hws-for-storing-your-assets/ Read the full article

Best Practices for Managing and Maintaining Commercial Electric Car Chargers

Summary

Electric vehicles are the future of modern transportation, and you can get ahead of the curve by installing commercial electric car chargers in your business. Apart from giving you a steady stream of income, this installation will also increase the value of your property.

However, to keep your customers satisfied and stay ahead of the competition, you must ensure that you schedule regular EV charging maintenance. Proper maintenance goes beyond cleaning cables and wires and ensures software is updated and all safety codes are complied with.

Introduction

Since electric cars are now so widely used, transportation has completely changed, making commercial electric car chargers more crucial now than ever.

A record 1.2 million EVs were sold in the U.S. in 2023, and while most charging is done at home, there’s a rising need for critical public charging infrastructure to support transportation as a whole.

A commercial electric car charger is a sophisticated piece of electrical equipment. While it does not require as much mechanical maintenance as gas stations, there is a great emphasis on keeping the electrical components in top working condition.

To keep your electrical charger working efficiently, you need a contractor experienced in large-scale electrical work and maintenance, like Tercero Inc. In this article, we will discuss EV charger maintenance tips for businesses.

Importance of Proper Management and Maintenance

The typical commercial electric car charger needs to be managed effectively and maintained on a regular basis. If commercial chargers are not properly maintained, they may lead to explosions, fires, or increased downtime, which can lead to loss of customers.

Frequent upkeep guarantees the charging infrastructures’ lifespan and optimum performance. It also lowers repair costs and enhances charger accessibility.

Additionally, you can maximize the functionality and dependability of your charging station and enhance client satisfaction by carrying out routine inspections, taking care of maintenance issues, and taking preventive measures.

Regular Inspection and Monitoring

To avoid failures, commercial electric car chargers must undergo routine inspections. A certified commercial electrician should perform these checks on a weekly or monthly basis, with an emphasis on avoiding and resolving problems as soon as they are identified. In most cases, you can monitor the charging units remotely and tend to them as needed or when problems arise. You should also look for signs of wear and tear, especially in sensitive components like cables and charging ports.

Considering that most commercial charging stations are installed in open spaces, part of the inspection involves regularly wiping down the cables and other external components to prevent the accumulation of dust and debris. To avoid corrosion, stations located in high humidity or near seawater will require extra attention.

You should also be aware that various weather circumstances pose distinct risks and require focused inspections. Throughout the winter months, make sure the chargers are shielded from precipitation, snow, hail, and other elements. Additionally, the heat of summer will reduce charging efficiency. Thankfully, for us here in Los Angeles, our weather is more temperate and we can relax knowing that we don’t have to deal with quite as many issues due to weather.

Addressing Common Issues and When to Call in a Professional

Because they are designed to resist challenging conditions, electric car chargers typically only need routine cleanings and inspections to remain in good operating condition. But occasionally, you might need to call in a professional. The following are signs of when to call in a professional:

External damage: Any exterior damage can negatively impact the charging infrastructure’s efficacy and, if left unattended, result in unhappy customers and financial loss.

Exposed wiring: The wire should be contained within the cable. Exposed wires are a fire hazard and could lead to electric shock. Make an immediate appointment with an electrician to fix any exposed wires you come across.

Slower than usual charging times: On average, a battery can be charged with a commercial electric car charger in as low as 30 minutes with a level 3 charger and a few hours with a high powered level 2. If you observe that your charger is taking longer than that, you should contact an expert.

Overheating: If your charger is getting hot or gets hot frequently, it can lead to reduced performance and could also be a fire hazard. So, you should have a professional take a look at it.

Error message: Error messages on your charger’s display always indicate underlying technical or electrical issues. You should have a professional examine the problem and determine its cause.

Software Updates and Upgrades

Commercial electric car chargers are a networked technology whose efficiency can be improved through software updates. These updates could include bug fixes and new features that make charging more efficient for car owners.

Software updates and upgrades improve efficiency and ensure that chargers are compatible with new EV models and charging protocols. They also address firmware vulnerabilities and increase the security of user data.

Ensuring Compliance and Safety

Commercial electric car chargers include intricate high-voltage electrical wiring, which can cause electrical shock, explosion, and fire, especially if installation and safety regulations are broken. 

To protect users, a certified electrician should inspect for obvious damage, loose connections, and ground fault circuit disruptors. Routine evaluations of leakage protection devices, overcurrent’s, short circuits, and core protection devices should also be part of additional electrical safety checks.

Other checks you can perform include visually checking for wear and tear, charging cables, and measuring the current-voltage charge per charger.

Partnering with Professional Services

Don’t wait for your charging station to malfunction before scheduling regular maintenance with a professional electrical company. It is almost always too late or expensive to fix when a fault becomes obvious.

When partnering with a contractor, you should ensure the company has relevant EV charger installation and maintenance experience. Most commercial electric car charger services call for specialized knowledge and automated equipment, which can only be performed after obtaining the necessary certificates and permits.

If you require dependable EV charger installation services in Los Angeles, Tercero Inc. is the best choice for high-quality evaluation and services.

Conclusion

Technology requires maintenance to work properly and for a long time. The stakes are higher for commercial electric car chargers, as the complex electrical wiring and high-voltage charge make them a fire hazard and explosion risk at the slightest issue.

You should schedule regular maintenance for your charging station to prevent the loss of life and property and inconvenience to customers caused by an electrical or mechanical malfunction. Most industrial electrical contractors like Tercero Inc. have the required licenses and training to handle complex electrical maintenance issues. Contact Tercero Inc. now for more information on their processes and quotes.

Before embarking on an AC installation project, it’s essential to assess the specific cooling needs of your business.

Complete Guide to Convert Your Garage into Livable Space in Los Angeles

With rising housing costs, converting existing structures into usable dwelling space makes financial sense for Los Angeles homeowners. Transforming unused garages into Accessory Dwelling Units Los Angeles creates flexible, multifunctional rooms to accommodate family needs or earn rental income.

However, garage conversions require careful planning, considering building regulations, contractor selection, and design elements that maximize livability within limited areas. This guide covers key steps for simplifying your garage to an ADU project in Los Angeles, from assessing feasibility, costs and permitting needs to final construction.

Check Garage Structure First

Before making any plans, homeowners must thoroughly inspect their garages with an experienced Los Angeles ADU Builder. They will check if the current walls, roof, foundation etc are structurally sound to take the extra construction load planned for the accessory dwelling unit (ADU). The expert will also confirm whether available garage space after conversion meets the legal minimum area requirements to be an allowed living zone as per area building codes.

Handle Permits and Legal Paperwork

Special rules exist in the Los Angeles area about where ADUs can be built, their maximum sizes, outdoor space needs, etc. Navigating these complex regulations on your own is difficult. It is best to hire a professional ADU builder familiar with all the latest compliance norms. They will handle processing all necessary council permits and architectural plans submissions along with paperwork correctly the first time. This avoids costly resubmission delays later.

Focus on Lighting and Ventilation

Careful interior design is a must to make an ADU within the confines of a limited garage space feel inviting and airy rather than cramped. Experienced Los Angeles General Contractors use smart techniques to place windows optimally to maximize natural light entry throughout daytimes. Proper ceiling heights and colour walls give a spacious look, too. Vents can let in a natural breeze, reducing the need for fans/AC. Overall, mindful design principles prevent a closed-in depressing vibe, allowing better quality living.

Budget and Coordinate Construction

Garage conversion projects involve structural changes that require close on-site supervision. Homeowners must allocate sufficient construction timeframes of 2-3 months, depending on the scope. Work elements like plumbing, electrical fittings, and carpentry require coordination, finishing one aspect before starting the next. Patience is key, as delays can happen during city inspections, causing revisions. Hiring Construction Contractors Los Angeles like JC Home, experienced in executing ADUs end-to-end, minimizes such hassles through seamless project oversight.

Conclusion

In closing, converting unused Los Angeles garages into ADUs make functional living areas, rental units or home office spaces given the housing crunch. Handing project management to specialized garage conversion contractors simplifies execution, leveraging permitting expertise and construction best practices tailored for regional compliance. The actual conversion process extends over three months on average, and close coordination is needed. 

But optimal space planning, budgeting and timing investments appropriately fetches returns through years of benefits enhancing living quality on par with commercial secondary units. As we specialize in streamlined garage-to-adU builds end-to-end, call JC Home Builders for a free estimate unlocking hidden potential within your property sustainably.

Electrical Construction and Maintenance

A while back I used to work as an electrician, being 22 years old at the time and just getting out of Los Angeles trade technical college, I really got to learn a lot about how wiring a house works, how wiring motors in Y or delta was important and how the California Electrical Code Book had to be applied to every single wiring job that I did.

I learned how exactly people would put up electrical poles and how they would bring kilowatts of energy from transformer to transformer along those electrical lines that we see in our daily lives walking in our neighborhoods. There were a few ways they used to provide electricity, one way was through the ground in my old neighborhood in west Los Angeles but most neighborhoods had them above head.

When buying land, one of the things to look for is whether or not electricity lines are already serviced in the area. The next part is to check the wiring diagram of the entire house. There were a few types of diagrams, one being wiring and another one being ladder diagrams.

Being here in Vermont, most utility poles tend to be overhead and supplied by Green Mountain Energy in the area. Another way electricity comes through a lot is through solar modules.

Solar was one of the most interesting things to me in my classes but seeing how the industry worked at the time, I realized there was still a lot of work to do within them.

That was 2015. Solar is just beginning now to become as competitive as gas and oil in order to heat houses and provide electricity per house.

When I look through a wiring diagram of a house, the US voltage per electrical outlet is 120/240 Volts AC, alternating current. Understand the differences between direct current and alternating current. It’ll save your life.

Most electronics, including my iPhone, uses direct current energy to power the phone. Meanwhile alternating current energy is used for circulating large amounts of kilowatts throughout the area and being able to power them from house to house.

My first time drawing up an electrical plan, I would consistently put a lot of lights into the house and according to people make it “too bright”. Residential application to electrical tends to be quite simple and uses less bright lights and more softer light.

Commercial and industrial use higher voltage such as 270/480 volts. If you plan on buying industrial lots and building factories in Nevada or another state then you would probably need higher voltage in order to supply the machinery that is within your confines.

Agriculture uses a lot of electricity, especially cannabis. Using lots of water and lighting in order to concentrate the growth of plants is necessary. So when you use a water pump through would then be attached to an irrigation pipe, you would need to utilize a water source. Aquaponics use this all the time and it’s nothing new.

When designing the house electrical, it would be smart to keep the same design and use it over and over again for the same houses. Sometimes you can experiment but uniformity helps make sure that everything works properly.

Uniformity is more common in rural and suburban areas than urban areas. The higher dense population the more it costs to get projects done which is why big cities tend to be very difficult to work with yet at the same time that is where most of the money is made.

In my experience in electrical construction in urban neighborhoods, it tends to be very hard to find honest electricians who actually do have a license and are not borrowing it from someone else.

City governments actually penalize property owners for not using licensed contractors or getting the right permits. Everything needs to have a permit so when you build out a house you need to make sure that the contractor or electrician gets the permits from city hall. From my experience, we used to go to West Hollywood all the time to get permits to do electrical wiring on different houses.

If you focus more on industrial electrical, that is a very different beast to work with. Buying a large amount of land and putting solar modules on it, then selling the power to local cities has a lot of work involved. For example, making sure there is enough Sun light to hit your modules every day is important.

Selling the electricity at a Kilowatt Per Hour is what most power plants will sell it at and then bill the property owner they service. So if you’re interested in building your own power plant, the safest and cheapest way is through solar, when you get done with that market then you can go onto much higher markets like Nuclear Power, however, you will need to get a security clearance from the government because once you get into that market you will be subjected to consistent check ups from the federal and state governments in order to pass evaluations.

Other types of industrial that continue working with a lot of electrical tends to be breweries, machine shops and other types of businesses. Where manufacturing comes in handy is being able to become a supplier to an entire town of stores and restaurants.

The next thing to be aware of is everything being computerized. All power plants now are computerized and use a lot of technology in order to supply power for communication lines and utility poles.

However, this is an interesting thing that happens once in a while but there are times where electrical plants have been exposed to hackers. So cyber security becomes even more important.

Going back to residential wiring, the service line is the line that goes from the utility pole and through the breaker, breaker being a series of switches and fuses that will shut off when the current is too high. And then goes through the house through the breaker.
