Serephina posted:Lotta fuckin' armchair theory here, I have never heard of any other ranger/workers referring to swamp matts as anything other than inconvenient (or funny). Helicopters, chainsaws, poison, all sorts of health&safety stuff. Not the floating vegetation. There is probably some confusion with what I know as a hanging bog - but I believe they're known as floating or quaking bogs in English? Those have a floating layer of sphagnum moss and maybe some heather over a layer of clear water, and it is very possible to drop through the floating layer. It's not exactly common, but people do sporadically drown in those.

Someone post the video of the Russian guys diving into a hole and swimming out of a pond 15 feet away; that one is definitely not a solid sponge. if it's a moss surface directly next to a body of water that's a bit different from what I was thinking of but yeah you're right

The lot across from me was excavated and is getting a foundation poured. They might have dug a little too greedily and too deep.  I don't think that 2x4 is going to work for long, especially considering it's raining now and there's nothing under it but mud.

D34THROW posted:Because it was sold as 304SS - which is nonmagnetic - and our customer base, as I said, is old farts with nothing better to do than take a magnet out and spot check the screws in their pool cage. This isn't even mentioning yet the one eagle-eyed customer that actually checked the markings on the screw heads and realized that what they got is a few grades down from what was actually sold to them. In Florida, watch an insurance company deny a hurricane damage claim if the fasteners were not marine grade stainless steel. If the code calls for it, and it doesn't have it, you can get screwed pretty fast in inspection or insurance coverage.

404SS is great if you love changing tools on your lathe/mill. We were getting 60-75x 2.25” diameter parts out of our cutoff tool inserts. Those are usually good for hundreds of parts. E: The roughing outside turning tool also felt the pain. We would run 5x parts and check tools. If there was more smoke than normal when we opened the lathe door, that meant it was time to swap _that_ insert. goatsestretchgoals fucked around with this message at 03:05 on Sep 3, 2021 |

I'm getting a bit nervous because I live on a seacoast; it's a cold seacoast rather than Florida, but I can see the ocean right outside my windows. Does that mean that anything I put outside/exposed to the outside air should be secured with stainless steel screws/nails? Where can I research this?

D34THROW posted:Believe it or not, working in the window and door industry has taught me some about metallurgy. Specifically because for the longest time one of our salesmen sold contracts with "304SS marine-grade stainless" fasteners. Then, even as we were working these jobs, management switched to 410SS because it was cheaper. Was real fun when I got to explain to a room full of my bosses exactly why customers were complaining when they checked the fasteners with magnets and were suddenly demanding we come out and change out hundreds of fasteners.* Ok right you guys weren't expecting people to check, but if they got sold a product promising "304SS marine-grade stainless" but got delivered a different, cheaper product, that's a bunch of bullshit. People who live near the ocean are dead serious about corrosion resistance. That higher grade of fastener might have been why they chose your product over a competitor's. I hope you explained to your bosses why bait-and-switching people who paid a premium for a specific alloy put you guys solidly in the wrong. You're lucky if you didn't get class-actioned.

There was a huge scam with fraudulent fasteners several years ago. Grade 5 marked grade 8, and whatnot. My gf and I went to the atomic testing museum in Vegas, and talked to a guy that used to work at the test sites. Nice old man. He said the only mishap they had was mismarked bolts that dropped the device unexpectedly. Funnily enough, a competitor of my company was arrested for selling fake bolts several years later.

The foundation is on bedrock. Some of that bedrock may have detached from the other bedrock over the last 100-200m years, but that E: The front part of the bedrock fell off.

Antioch posted:The lot across from me was excavated and is getting a foundation poured. They might have dug a little too greedily and too deep. I mean, you have to dig down to the base of the structure, which is typically 6'-7', you also need to be able to fit equipment+people into the trench, so, typically you dig 3.5-4.5' out from the wall. Also, they should have just ripped that sidewalk out, but the customer probably complained about having to pay for that AND the foundation pour/repair and asked if they could try to save it. hint: It probably won't work (as you surmised) even if the thing survives, because of settlement post fill, you typically have to fill the hole, and if you don't want to pay for a tamper, which I wouldn't, you just water the area for a few weeks, then throw down more dirt, which is a lot tougher with existing concrete, generally you'd then pour new concrete, which will probably happen here anyway, with the added bonus that they will have to deal with paying whomever to haul the old poo poo out instead of having it done now. Source, I did foundation repair for a living and have probably piered and jacked 100+ houses. MF_James fucked around with this message at 04:58 on Sep 3, 2021 |

This is actually really interesting, thank you! I worked at a construction company, but in IT. They didn't let me on site, rightfully so. The owner of the blue house came home and lost his poo poo so tomorrow should be interesting.

Antioch posted:This is actually really interesting, thank you! I worked at a construction company, but in IT. They didn't let me on site, rightfully so. It's a really crazy process, we generally didn't pour concrete (slabs/whatever), we'd repair existing foundations, so dig down below the footer, then attach brackets every 6ish feet around the affected area of the house, so basically the part that settled plus one bracket on the good side at each end (I've also done a WHOLE house which was like a $200000ish project). Then we'd drive pipe down to the point of refusal, essentially when we'd hit very solid earth, this would pop a ring on the end of the pipe, which you definitely knew happened because it sounded like a gunshot, push the pipe (heh) a bit further, then pour a limestone/concrete mix down the pipe and lock the brackets down to the house. If the house needed lifting, we'd lift prior to filling the pipes, using 10 ton bottle jacks on each pipe. That's the short of it, there was so much OSHA poo poo, did I mention it was our family business before my brother and I sold it? Yeah... That job gave me a lot of respect for construction workers and a very healthy fear of saws because every one I used was diamond bladed and dangerous as gently caress for one reason or another (mostly they kicked like mules and could cut off an errant limb/appendage in a split second), one of them though, lol, it was a loving chainsaw with a chain that could cut concrete, that thing was some scary poo poo. I probably should have worn ear protection more because now my hearing is poo poo from cutting miles of concrete.
