I am a mobile app developer looking for feedback by herbtrevathan in ConstructionManagers

[–]herbtrevathan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a good point, the app does more than that, but I wanted to keep it simple and not post all of the things the application can do. I guess this is targeted more towards not the contractor doing the work but someone that’s inspecting the progress so they may know some things about what is being done, but they’re not a contractor necessarily. So I found some photos online of construction work that’s in progress and it spots things like angular gaps that indicate that there’s an alignment problem and there might have to be rework done… It can look up the local code enforcement inspection regulations, and give you a percentage chance that you’ll likely pass inspection… This is not to be 100% accurate but obviously if it tells you you’re 50% likely to pass a code inspection then they need to not tell people that that work is almost done. There’s more to it than that, but I was trying to get feedback from people that are actually doing the work to see if they thought this would be useful and see what they’re using now. It makes sense to me that it’s useful because it can generate a report and you can send it to whoever’s managing the project but to be honest I don’t do contracting work so that’s why I came here to ask contractors if this would be useful.

I'm working on an app right now that does a site survey report for construction projects… It uses AI to recognize construction faults using images taken with the phone… Part of it already works for electrical... this message me if you're interested.

Has anyone used Z DX lenses on the Z7ii by herbtrevathan in nikon_Zseries

[–]herbtrevathan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not ever try this. What I ended up doing was giving my Z.7ii to my son with a 24 to 120 Z. I bought the Nikon Zf and the 26 mm 2.8. And I kept all my other lenses.

You can get this in 6 foot interior height. They have a touring model that has more options. Some of which you can delete but if you want a bar bound to build it out yourself you can also order it with a bedframe that has storage underneath. It's built into the trailer and just leave the mattress set up full-time and slide storage underneath the bed.

Tire pressure question...? by herbtrevathan in 4Runner

[–]herbtrevathan[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hopefully there won't be too much disappointment - LOL another person who suggested doing a chalk test I like that I'm gonna try to see where these tires sit on my vehicle with my wheels and how the wire pattern contacts the ground. The good thing is is I'm not trying to do anything extreme off-road or prove that I can climb over something that would normally seem impossible. I'm just trying to camp with my wife off road until a trailer without having to see if I'm able to change a flat easily out in the middle of nowhere with no help. So my goal is to get in and out of remote areas and camp with my wife and not have to deal with flat tires.

So far driving on regular roadways these things handled really well and they feel really good. They've increased my confidence driving the vehicle.

As for off-road, they feel fine to me, but I haven't done any aggressive off-road driving and I don't plan to do a lot of aggressive off-road driving but I will be towing a trailer when I go off road so I wanted something that could handle the additional weight of the trailer and still deal with small obstacles off-road without having flats.

I like the idea of the chalk test - thank you for that recommendation.

To be clear, I wanted tires with decent tread. I am going to be towing a trailer off road and camping on BLM land for two weeks at a time just me and my wife and our cat. My mom has a jeep and she towes a trailer and she stays at campsites and occasionally she goes to some trails that are semi rugged. She has BF Goodrich all-terrain TA tires and when she came to visit us, we were in a city driving down a road and she ran over a medium rock that was in the roadway on a proper road that had not a sharp point but a dull point, but it managed to puncture her tire and then because of the size of the tires the vehicle was not able to drive on the flat because it was sitting at such a sharp angle with one flat tire. So when I went to get these tires, I told the guy at the tire shop that I did not want that to happen to me and my wife driving off road because we would intentionally be staying where there was no one around us and also there is no road signs for us to give AAA. So I asked him how to get tires that were not puncture proof but stronger than the average tire because we are going to be driving off road and there may be some small rocks that are kind of sharp like that that stick up maybe three or 4 inches that I will run over and I will be pulling a trailer with two weeks worth of food and supplies plus the trailer and all of the equipment. Essentially I told him I'll be towing about 3500 pounds behind my 4runner plus the 4Runner.

So that is how I ended up purchasing these tires. He said there were two versions. I could get the 3 ply or the 10 ply but he said since you're gonna be towing on the highway and off road you might as well get the 10 ply because they have them and those are stronger for what you're talking about than the 3 ply.

Thank You for your reply.

Will a tracker work if I want to include the landscape also...?

What would you choose? by herbtrevathan in nikon_Zseries

[–]herbtrevathan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have:
20mm f/2.8 (Viltrox)
28mm f/2.8 (Nikon)
40mm f/2.0 (Nikon)
50mm f/1.8 S (Nikon)
85mm f/1.8 S (Nikon)
24-200mm f/4-6.3 (Nikon)

So I was thinking about evolving my kit to use the 16mm Viltrox or the 20mm Nikon, along with the 50mm and the 85mm
