~Coxy posted:Who was there first, do you think? My foot in the door in telecom was in outside plant with my dad. No question that anchor was there first and someone built around it. You couldn't install the "Preformed" http://www.sherrilltree.com/preformed-3-8in-dead-end-guy-splice-orange in that situation. Messenger strand is too stiff, with the Preformed on there makes it much stiffer. You would never be able to feed it through a hole drilled with such little clearance between the anchor rod and the wall. Plus,(assuming this is in the USA) no utility crew would bother. They have an easement and a jackhammer. Your little wall can suck it. If they ever have to add another guy wire there, that wall will have the corner busted off of it without a second thought.

Centurylink is running fiber in my area amd hired yhe laziest loving contractors to run what looks like steel cables for it to run along. These guys were just loving around any time the boss wasn't watching. They also added some guy wires for some poles, including one directly in front of our neighbor's house. They sunk their anchor thingie within a foot of the locate marks for her sewer line with predictable results. Of course nome of them could speak English when approached about it (even though they were swearing in English their entire workday).

Harry Potter on Ice posted:What red lines under my words? loving lazy rear end foreigners Nah, I'm normally pretty understanding if people have language difficulties but these guys absolutely could speak fluent English. Them being lazy as poo poo has nothing to do with them being foreign, they just happened to try and use language as a way to get out of resposibility for thier fuckup. They should have hand excavated that close to the markings. Sorry about the typo, I only ever phone post and my phone is poo poo.

How much are balconies typically rated for? And does anyone want to make an educated guess to how much water there is in that picture?

Why would they even need the siphon? A little patience and the balcony will empty itself into the balcony below it

Collateral Damage posted:How much are balconies typically rated for? And does anyone want to make an educated guess to how much water there is in that picture? If the door is 2 m high, I judge the balcony at about 3 m by 1 m (but the angle is a little tricky and gently caress trying to normalise the whole thing). I’m going to say the window sill is 0.8 m above the floor. Judging by the empty balcony below, the water is 40% of that deep, or 0.32 m. That works out to almost exactly a cubic metre of water, or one tonne. Which is a lot less than I expected. fakeedit: I don’t think the balcony is seventeen by five feet, but my methodology is bad and it little difference in each of the linear measurements makes a big difference in volume.

I think this is close (I'd guess the balcony is 12 feet by 3.5 or 4 feet). I don't think it's really as deep as it seems because of the angle. I'm guessing about 400 gallons at the max which would be 3320 pounds. I think it's probably closer to 300 gallons/2500 pounds.

 From what I could tell, that's some scaffolding, with some 2xs resting against the scaffolding, a ladder resting on the 2xs, and another ladder resting on the first ladder.
