Nope, before it was a park the property was a lumber yard where they built coffins. There's never been any residential build on there lot it would have connected to. Oh, and that wire I'm holding up? Some kind of connection running down the fence line unsecured to it in most locations. I forget if it's the Internet connect or what, but it definitely has the same DIY feel as the balcony.

The park had lovely drainage and flooded regularly, so one of the neighbors poured a lovely concrete fence to dam the water out of their property. What they didn't realize is that their back patio drained into the park. They effectively built a bathtub and had to come back and drill out the drainage hole you see.

That wire looks like it could be phone company wire. Never underestimate the time crunch (and ability to not give a poo poo) those guys are under. So if just stringing it along the fence gets the job done, that is what will happen. And it could be for phones or data. It’s likely just twisted copper pairs and some reinforcement inside that rubber sheath. At least in the Midwest. I have to assume it’s pretty much the same everywhere.

Normally when I have a contractor or utility person doing work I will make sure that they know what I want and have everything they need, then just let them work with a very occasional check in. Telecom I watch like a goddamn hawk because they will pull the shadiest poo poo imaginable to save 20 seconds. I understand that the actual technician on site is not the one setting the unreasonable time expectations, but the technician is also not the one that has to live with the cable routing.

For my short time as manual labor at a telco 20 years ago: If the wire cable was *perfectly* rectangular, it was 2 copper pairs in the middle, self supporting with some sort of nylon type of fiber running on both sides of the rubber jacket. That could be used for short overhead runs between poles and to the house. But techs would temp lay it on the ground all the time, as it was weatherproof. The really good poo poo that I used to bury had a rubber outer shell, a solid copper sheet inner shell, and 6 pairs of copper wires that were in a water resistant gel. I used to cut the poo poo out of my hands on that copper inner shell.

Comm does whatever the hell they want. Full tension overhead with no guying backing it up, they don't give a poo poo. If someone did a calc it's to a safety factor of "lol".

There’s no slip hazard, that’s why the cling wrap is there. Basically impossible to slip at this point.

The sun bars were really common in Soviet Union, you see them everywhere across the worker's paradise (makes you wonder what is so valuable inside the fifth floor death deck, but then I remembered that everyone in ex-USSR is a ninja parkour champion)  There was also a design for the 1980 Moscow olympic games i'm whoever laid those bricks  (it's the 1980 games logo)

Guessing they renovated a single-family home into multiple apartments (on each floor and over the garage), and code requires each one to have a separate entrance. Plus a contractor who built a deck once but don't worry, he's got this.

I'll post it when I get to my laptop, but the shore house my sister's in-laws had in Beach Haven, NJ had an Escher staircase set like this. Connected the 3rd floor back door to 2- bedrooms there, the 2nd floor apartment entry, and over to the apartment over the boathouse.
