MRC48B posted:Natural gas flow rates are Not High. Standard water heater wants between 14" max and 5.5" minimum water column pressure. That's about half a psi on the high end. Very much Not High Pressure. However, a gas leak, like a pinhole leak will basically be leaking fire, as the hot gas auto-ignites the second it has enough oxygen to burn. High pressure gas lines are like 300-1500 psi, and are on the exact opposite of the spectrum. 110% find thyself the closest pair of running shoes, and call the cops once you no longer hear the roaring noise the pipe makes when a backhoe finds it.

Leperflesh posted:I guess it's possible that a masonry bit could have just the tip hardened with the shank intentionally left softer so that it doesn't shatter as easily if it binds up? Masonry bits are generally a little carbide arrow tip brazed to a regular steel shank. How lovely that regular steel is depends entirely on how cheap your bit set was. "Included in the box" ones are single use only.

Bluetooth is key if you're gonna soak in there and need to bullshit with your friends while you do it. Also if you wanna pipe in some porno saxophone to help set the mood with whatever tinder or grindr date you brought back to the airbnb with you.

Bad Munki posted:Without owners, Bob’s Building Business shuts down. A month later one county over, Cob’s Construction Company opens. By an odd coincidence, the same truck with the same license plate is used by cob when he shows up to bid a job. Incidentally this is a huge issue for cities with a known bidding process. They know the assholes who underbid the job to win are useless, but they can't go with the people who can actually finish the job, because by statute they need to go with the lowest valid bid. Most of them now have a "in business for X years in the same area, with at least XX million in gross revenues in a 5 year period" to avoid the Bob's Builders' Cobs Constructions Dobs Demolition, Ethan's Excavation, Franks Foundation works, and Greg's Garage Construction Shop from wining bids.

I mean, that's actually almost entirely within code? If that's a 2x12, max notch allowed is 1-7/8" deep by 3-3/4 wide, a 2.5" hole isn't that much bigger. Metwood even makes 'the plumber was an rear end in a top hat' joist repair straps and splice plates.

Danhenge posted:He was very upset when people with experience in excavation explained how likely he was to hurt himself while digging his party hole. Turns out engineering for confined spaces is actually really hard, and doing it right is really expensive, and if you fall down and hurt yourself, the fire department is gonna shout advise to you for the half hour it takes them to get the confined space team out and geared up to come grab your stupid rear end. Then they're gonna give you a mid 5-figgies bill for the opportunity!

Rip up flooring around holes, rip out stupid pipe, repair every single joist with approved materials and methods.

His Divine Shadow posted:I believe the solution here would be the relevant office redraws the borders and the guys who loses acreage gets paid a suitable amount, or possibly redraw them in funky ways so everyone's house is on their property and everyone retains the same acreage, albeit in funny shapes. The term apparently is 'Adverse Possession' and if its been like that for 10 years, it's kinda a 'tough poo poo' moment for the guy whose dirt they stole. The nice way would be to go through the redrawing process and come up with some number that makes everyone equally unhappy, but if they wanna make a fight of it, the law in most states says they get to stay and the land they used is now theirs.

DrBouvenstein posted:Also better than those stairs some old dude installed on a whim at a park because the city said it would cost like $60k, and he was proud that his materials cost was only like $500. Sorta like how spray painting a huge dong around a pothole makes the city come fix them, if you make something the city *has to fix* to avoid lawsuits, you can sometimes cut in line. Or they paint over the dicks and leave the huge pothole as a 'gently caress you' and move you to the bottom of the pile. Also the city really does NOT like it when you rent the hot-patch machine from the local asphalt plant and fix all the potholes in your neighborhood yourself.
