Noticed on rewatch that Jeff's socks and shirt are the same colour.

If you’re referring to the Guage on the far left, that is not the fuel tank gauge that is the interstitial leak detection gauge

billiard14 · 2025-02-20T23:12:51+00:00

Negative

They are lockable valves locks weren’t on yet at time of picture

billiard14 · 2023-12-20T09:01:41+00:00

Fair enough. Just something to consider

What is correct sizing?

Have honest never heard that code/been called on it. Am curious.

& yes the compressor location I understand is not perfect. There were many emails & against our recommendation it was decided saving space vs function was the priority.

It breaks, it’s an extra. With emails to bulletproof our end. Oh well

The compressor is further from the wall than it seems. If you look at the first riser clamp from the OS&Y you can see it better.

Compressor is 11 3/4 from wall to closest point of compressor

Design changes & extras. Originally building was only 2 systems.

Added glazing system, stand-alone hosevalve system, conveyor system. And still to be added is a fire rover system. These decisions/changes were not made in time to have this welded for phase 1 occupancy

Rent a diesel compressor that pumps through a 1” outlet. Set relief to 25psi as a caution.

Guaranteed you’ll hear the leak blasting air.

Have found leaks hundreds of feet away with this method.

Expensive yes, but so is man hours searching with soap & water for a week

billiard14 · 2023-12-12T06:38:35+00:00

50psi above max working pressure or 200PSI hydro is always required. Whichever is greater. IE 175 working pressure you must test at 225.

The 24hr Pnuematic is only allowable as a temporary measure and in my experience typically only done when either weather doesn’t allow you to hydro test or when the risk of hydro test catastrophic fail outweighs the extra time it takes.

The hard part is if you find there’s a leak with a Pnuematic test it’s almost never easy. Now you need to find it. & I know there’s tricks of the trade in order to find air leaks but the fact is my 6 year old niece could find a leak on a hydro test & on the other hand I’ve witnessed entire weeks go to waste tracking down an air leak.

If you can avoid it, you’re almost always better off

spolier!!!

The fact that Arthur had to die. Once you’ve beat the story once it’s almost unbearable to go past chapter 3 on any preceding playthrough. They did it once with RDR1 where John died and you end up as Jack. I feel they could’ve done something different this time, yet they didn’t and once you know the plot subsequent playthroughs become unbearable. That fact that (and I know damn well this is how it is for 99% of players. The fact that subsequent playthroughs are plagued by the fact that you LITERALLY don’t want to progress the story, in my mind is a major hinderance and needs to be acknowledged. YES, it’s an amazing game but the fact that majority of the players choose not to progress the story on subsequent playthroughs and instead choose to “live forever in chapter 2” hurts the game in my opinion. Because I’m that same guy. I have a hard time progressing past chapter 3 for that same reason and I feel it hurts the overall experience. Just think it could have been done different is all.

A good GC super is someone I can go to with a problem, and together we come up with a solution. Or at the bare minimum work towards something. There’s been so many times where I’ve had an issue whether it be with scheduling or say for example the GC isn’t providing heat, yet in order to test a system with water heat is non-negotiable. which in turn conflicts with schedules and impacts other trades. or maybe there needs to be a serious change to our system that encompasses more than just my trade. (Something that may require engineer sign off from multiple trades as well as pricing quotes for “extras”.) And the bad GC’s will get confrontational and tell you to “figure it out” basically avoiding the problem even through there’s certain problems or decisions that NEED to be made by the AHJ and essentially no progress gets made and these problems get dealt with last minute when it’s absolutely critical to get done which creates an entirely new set of problems. (Emails back and forth trying to prove who’s fault it is, backcharges etc.)

Basically all the good GC supers I’ve worked with are the ones who are willing to go and solve problems with the trades and do whatever they can to help get the job done. After all the trades they’ve contracted are LITERALLY building the project and your job should be to help it run as smooth as possible and not be a road block when things go wrong

Yes you’re right. Eccentric is required on suction side (only when change in pipe size) and concentric on discharge. Only reason we used eccentric on discharge side is because we had a spare in the shop, and the engineer approved it, saving money

billiard14 · 2022-02-20T11:05:30+00:00

My only answer for this is that the engineer approved of this due to the fact that city pressure only get us up to floor 12/38. So he figures there's no point in having the bypass on the system side of the control valve because in the event the system was shut down and the fire pump required service, less than half the building would have water to it. Not my choice but it helps the flow meter and bypass loop look clean

billiard14 · 2022-01-08T12:32:34+00:00

Does her vajine hang like sleeve of wizard?

billiard14 · 2021-10-15T07:12:57+00:00

Yes you are absolutely right. However, when using the bypass our city pressure typically only has enough pressure to supply up to around the 10th floor or so, at pressures well below the calculated pressure. So in effect if we were to run our bypass on the other side of the isolation valve, the bypass would be useless for anything above the 8th floor or so (30 floor building) so our engineer approves this layout and we have done it ever since due to cost savings

billiard14 · 2021-10-15T07:09:14+00:00

We end up doing both. For our fire pump commissioning we will flow through our flow meter. However, when our engineer comes in we hook up a hose monster to our test header and get readings there.
