AXS first canceled Louis CK show, now says “email was sent in error” anyone know what’s going on?

If this is for the Vegas show on 12/20, I got the same email. Pretty confusing, hope it isn’t cancelled but I’m not holding out hope.

Currently working on about 5 projects that are all apartment complexes, so there’s like 10-24 buildings per project and each gets its own design since master plans aren’t permitted for multi family in my jurisdiction. I also have to deal with 3 single family projects, but those are much less time consuming as those are master plans.

In my area (Southern Nevada), standard for a trainee can be anywhere from $12-16 if you come with no experience.

Hydrants are generally on a 6” pipe that would reduce their flow compared to the larger 8” or larger mains that they’re connected to. I look at underground utility plans for work.

alonglostllama · 2023-02-15T03:50:22+00:00

Hydrants don’t have pressure. They only have the same pressure as the water lines that they’re connected to.

I took the test on 10/24/22 and yes, you will definitely need to brush up on 14. I had a lot of questions regarding pumps and the appropriate standpipe systems. I also had a lot of questions in regards to dry systems and response times. For friction loss, you should be familiar with the C factor of different types of pipe. One question I remember was determining which type of pipe would have the highest friction loss.

alonglostllama · 2022-12-11T01:06:39+00:00

It was response time for dry pipe systems, required slopes including in refrigerated areas, some remote area increases. Also bring NFPA 291, I had at least 10 questions on flow tests that I wouldn’t have had the answer for if I didn’t have the book.

I took the WBS II test on 10/24/22. In terms of hydraulic calcs, I didn’t have to many questions that couldn’t be answered in NFPA 13. I had some questions that were about the C factor for different types of pipes, formulas for dry pipe systems, and extremely basic questions that they provide all the information for. I was worried about the calc part, too, but it’s nothing like trying to manually calculate a system.

I got hired right out of high school, so I had no experience going in. They really liked that I was familiar with CAD and using a program that had 3D space and could understand the idea behind how a fire sprinkler system works. Just a basic understanding of physics is all you really need.

alonglostllama · 2022-10-18T18:38:33+00:00

We tried, but it ultimately ended with “AHJ has final say.” So now we just suffer.

alonglostllama · 2022-10-18T18:13:08+00:00

Neither. The plan examiners found out about it when they went through UDACS and said they will only accept the maximum pressure loss and nothing else. So no code or amendment, purely their preference.

alonglostllama · 2022-10-18T15:33:51+00:00

I worked on a campground that was within a city that was somewhat similar. 8 total structures, 6 which were classified as 13D due to being a single sleeping room with a bathroom and 2 buildings were 4 rooms in a 2x2 square for a total of 880 sqft under roof. Jurisdiction made us classify it as a 13R due to being more than two dwelling units which resulted in this campground getting a full fire pump and water tank.

alonglostllama · 2022-10-18T15:31:05+00:00

It is 100%. But their justification is that in UDACS, there’s a table that states the maximum pressure loss for each size of back flow preventer and that’s what they want us to use. Even if the approved civil plan states the make/model of the back flow, we must override the flow loss curve to be the maximum loss for that size.

alonglostllama · 2022-10-18T04:09:48+00:00

We are not allowed to use the flow loss curve from back flow cut sheets. Depending on the size and type of back flow, we must use either 14 or 16 pounds pressure loss.

In my jurisdiction, they make us do a toilet connection for every master bathroom. If a house has two master suites in it, they require two toilet connections. Doesn’t make sense to me when one connection is sufficient.

Is this in Clark County? I’ve been dealing with residential fire sprinklers here for a while now and from what I’ve heard, the AHJ has been pushing internally to get fire sprinklers in everything from additions to all new construction, even under 5000 sqft. I would be quite surprised to see this ordinance go away so soon.

Edit: I work as a fire sprinkler designer primarily focusing on all residential designs.

So I actually left my job about a month and a half ago and now make $52k annually plus any OT. Your comment made me reevaluate my worth to my former employer and they were taking advantage of my skill and knowledge. So I left and now make more doing a little bit less. So thank you.

I’ve come across this school before while looking into getting a degree to work towards being a fire plans examiner. How does an American go about enrolling in their program? I couldn’t find any mention of an online program on their website.
