Reading this thread makes me never want to own property. If you buy something older, it's probably full of tiny death/poop traps. If you buy a new one, it's probably cheaply made AND could still be full of deathtraps. If you have your own built, you have to breathe down the neck of every guy who comes through there to keep them from doing dumb poo poo. This is probably too far off topic but how the hell do you find a good contractor/inspector?

Dillbag posted:Mexico City was interesting. Many of the buildings under 3 or 4 stories still had rebar sticking out of the roof or ground because apparently there's a property tax that only gets applied to "finished" buildings. People never cut off/clean up the rebar and claim their building is unfinished for the life of the structure. Wouldn't that cause issues with rust? I can't imagine the buildings last as long as they'd like with rebar just poking out the top like that.

Leperflesh posted:Huh. Perspective is a bit skewed there but it looks to me like it goes right through. The image has a lot of graininess so I can't quite tell for sure, now. If it were cut through you'd see at least a darker bit around where they would have cut the hole, or hopefully some flashing at least, though given the quality of work I doubt they would have bothered.

Remember that Architect is a legally protected term, "Designer" is not. Also that in a lot of jurisdictions you don't need an architect or engineer's stamp for residential plans.

Neutrino posted:It looks like they did weld some small bar behind (highlighted in red) but most likely not enough to handle a decent floor loading. I'm pretty sure that's just what's left of the top flange, and even if they did weld it it wont do a lot without the rest of the bar.

I've actually seen this in a commercial construction job. Tight ceilings in a skywalk and an owner with more more money than sense, the fire protection sprinklers were dropped through the ducts. ambient oatmeal fucked around with this message at 01:20 on Apr 27, 2017 |

I demand 5.27 slices of roast beef and if I get 5.3 by jove I will need to speak with your manager

Its everyone's duty to install crappy cords that cause this problem to maximize the amount of time during the day that you spend not working thus spending your bosses money.
