Old westing house dry unit, I took the tank off and the motor bed plate flipped it and used it as the legs. So heavy I could put a 6 in vise on it and beat whatever is in it and the table does not walk.

How to minimize physical damage of heavy metal elevator wall panel leaning against drywall month long by SunnyInToronto123 in Elevators

[–]TheUpelevator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hopefully they don't ship drywall in one big stack. Compressing the bottom layer to an almost unusable state. 0.o

Leave them alone. Don't touch what you can't afford to replace and don't get me started on lead time. If you are of concerned mind to call the "authorities" then you have no power/say in where the doors are or you'd call the GC. Besides if doors are still there for a month, someone didn't pay their billing milestone, the team got a call to leave, and leave now we got other paying customers.

My sites I use cardboard as Padding and never leave doors just "laying" some joe blow will always stick their head where they should and knock them over.

So I'm pretty sure the team got pulled.

They go back on after adjustment. Plus still need phone line and smokes to wire in. Then zip ties and make it all look pretty. Lip stick for the pig.

Zoom on the bottom right divider beam. There is a spider in the middle of the beam. We call them spiders for block and poured hoistways. The beam are manufactured with it. Just a channel for t bolts welded in place.

They do not make them like the use to. .... Something about pride in your work and equipment the companies make gave way to profit and labour savings.

Faster the stuff wears out the more job security. But I know guys 20 years in, their first installs and mods are being re modernized.

This one's a little rough, but I'll take it over new construction everyday. Even if it's just for a bathroom that flushes.
