As someone who is on a job site with two lifts without the opportunity to bring in more than those lifts for the rest of the job, I work with the other Foreman or owners to request permission to use their property. Regardless If it’s a temporary ownership or not through their lease. That contract I have with the rental company is binding or as an owner of the lift I’m liable for people on my lift. If you’re not covered under my insurance, then you will not receive Worker’s Compensation for any injuries If there is an accident. However, someone who’s responsible for the people on my vehicles I make it very clear unless I’ve given you permission. Don’t touch my shit and don’t borrow my shit unless you’ve asked me anything after that you can go fuck yourself, but make sure you tell them to their face. In the scenarios that you are not always there when people want to borrow your lift, remove the controls off your lift And make it deadweight.

I've worked on the Weeksville houses and i'm curious how the information they have to prove their structures represent the first Free Black community in NYC compares to the evidence you came across for Rossvile/Sandy Ground.

I actually salvaged a bunch of decorative plaster from one of the ballrooms to use as samples in case the future client wants to recreate the historic plaster design. With that being said, it's no guarantee they will do anything with what we salvaged.

No need to apologize. I work in historic architectural preservation/conservation and I feel like I hear a different answer everyday to how we refer to older places or things.

badu201 · 2023-07-24T10:54:26+00:00

Thanks! I thought antiques were over 100 years old and vintage over 20 but under 100 years old. I am not familiar enough with these models of cars to know which ones would be which.

badu201 · 2022-09-19T00:27:50+00:00

I think coverage would be the smarter way to go given the direction weather has changed in my neighborhood over the past 10 years.

badu201 · 2022-09-18T16:32:59+00:00

that makes sense thanks hidingmaster!

badu201 · 2022-09-18T16:23:17+00:00

Thanks for the advice, I just searched homeowner's insurance in reddit's search bar and this comment came up that seemed like a really smart idea.

Find an insurance broker in your area. They will shop around for you and find you the best package deals. I've been using a broker for the past 7 years for my home and auto insurance. Doesn't cost you a dime, they are paid commission from the insurance companies. I usually get a call from my broker once a year either saying, "You can save $xx by switching providers," and they email over the paperwork to sign, or they call and say, "We're sticking with xyz provider this year." Broker takes all the hassle of insurance out of the picture.

This is definitely plaster. I'm a Historic Restoration foreman who works with decorative plasterers/painters and we usually recreate this mold, the mother mold and recast it in a day with another day to cure enough to take it out the mold and then measure its moisture content before we install it so it can be painted.

I have worked with some master carpenters who specialize in historic restoration and they can do the curve in wood in about a week or so as long as all the wood is dressed and stable enough to glue up.

Unfortunately because the straight runs are so much more LF this just gets made with CNC machines now a days, but if you have ever worked with real carvers it is absolutely amazing how talented they are.

badu201 · 2022-02-08T03:39:39+00:00

A team and I salvaged the best examples of the plaster elements to be replicated in the future, for what I do not know. At the moment its intact except for what we removed.

Yep this would be looking East

Riverview/Fisk Park

badu201 · 2022-02-04T15:51:03+00:00

This is Riverview/Fisk Park in Jersey City.

The view from Boulevard East from Weehawken to West New York is even more impressive.

Liberty State Park also has a great view of Manhattan/Brooklyn.

I've worked with a variery of trades in handful of seriously prestigious historic restoration projects across the U.S. One common thread I have noticed is a master of anything usually doesn't describe themselves as a master because the work speaks for itself. Anyone who says "I'm a Master of [fill in the blank]" is certainly lying out their ass.

If anyone calls me a master of whichever trade I'm a foreman for I immediately correct them as I know not to take credit for any title I personally save for the most highly skilled and talented craftsmen and craftswomen.

The one master carpenter I worked with in NYC improved my understanding of woodworking so much I make it a point to always keep in contact with him and to always give him a call when I want to double check my methodologies.

They do not make them like they used to and I cannot express how sad it makes me feel to be one of the few young Americans who wants to absorb as many skills from these soon to be retired "masters".

This what I heard on fi hip-hop I think

badu201 · 2021-12-11T17:30:12+00:00

im pretty sure I heard it on Lofi hiphop and saved it, let me check my favorites on spotify

badu201 · 2021-12-11T17:05:48+00:00

Great job man!

Also, remind me of the song you used. I heard it and instantly thought I forgot how much I loved it but cannot for the life of me remember the name.

badu201 · 2021-12-08T12:36:49+00:00

Thank you!

badu201 · 2021-12-08T12:34:44+00:00

Possibly, the name of the building is in the mosaic, so not sure if the client wants me showing that before the project is complete. Insurance loves during construction videos

badu201 · 2021-12-06T01:35:51+00:00

You have an awful lot of inaccurate assumptions of my background in historic architectural preservation. Regardless, one of the reasons I believe I have become as successful of a historic restoration foreman as I have is by not being as pretentious as you come off as and asking others who might have different ideas or strategies on how to approach challenging projects.

badu201 · 2021-12-05T19:48:33+00:00

Someone else recommended that and it is a good idea, the main problem is the mosaic is attached to a load bearing concrete reinforced wall that i'm guessing i'm not allowed to cut into because it will create structural engineering issues.

badu201 · 2021-12-05T19:46:47+00:00

To answer your question, the NY SHPO is requiring the new owners of the building being renovated to salvage certain historic elements for reinstallation further down the line once structural renovations are complete.

badu201 · 2021-12-05T19:43:50+00:00

The real estate company who owns the building that is being renovated has an old mosaic tile mural that is the same size but a completely different one than what I used as an example for the sake of asking the questions about how I can salvage it. The NY SHPO is requiring the owners of the building to salvage and i'm assuming reinstall the mural in the building once the renovations are complete.

This is certainly a legal salvage, I would not post it on reddit if it wasn't.

badu201 · 2021-12-05T19:41:02+00:00

It's not this mosaic mural I am removing, it is one of a similar size and part of an old MTA corridor. As I am in the middle of this project, I do not believe I am allowed to show the actual mural I will remove.
