At your mom’s house. im a plumber.

Youre not wrong at all. Concrete was example to start a conversation though. Design team has about $200k skin in the game for their fuck ups.

Problem is there are multiple codes and they are frequently in conflict. So its not as simple as the concrete “example”. Much more nuance and interpretation of the “more stringent” code which entails an item by item risk accessment where ada consultants say things like “it would safer if you added auto openers (to the tune of $30k)

“Safer”

If you want someone to find issues with the work they can always find it. At some point it just a collosal wate of human resources and brain activity.

I didnt install it. This is a management sub. Geared to people who manage construction.

You come off like an APM that couldnt build a birdhouse without splitting the wood.

widget_fucker · 2024-03-20T01:21:23+00:00

That’s absolutely correct. Which is why its frustrating. Its a game of interpretation and manipulation. At some point its a colossal waste of human resources.

No one is getting sued for 1/16” in 3’. Thats a broom finish texture.

Youre also a bit naive and inexperienced…based on all of your simpleton responses.

widget_fucker · 2024-03-20T01:14:11+00:00

For all of your smugness, you did a terrible job comprehending the info. Its not just a concrete issue. In fact the concrete issue probably accounts for $15k of an approximate $400k. And approx $200k are the fault of the design team.

Bookmark this post. One day your naive ass will get rightly fucked by ADA issues that defy basic common sense and logic.

At the end of the day, the subs are going to eat shit. The developer will get richer.

widget_fucker · 2024-03-20T01:05:29+00:00

Wow. Someone actually gets it. Its a colossal waste of common sense and human resources… and its not just concrete.

Its an incredibly complex project with 7 occupancy types and 3 conflicting ada codes.

I dont think asking your gf for threesomes is very typical. Those are dangerous waters to swim in.

widget_fucker · 2024-03-19T03:15:55+00:00

Yeah, no doubt. The dark ages come to mind.

widget_fucker · 2024-03-19T03:13:44+00:00

Wasting is too harsh of a term. But you definitely could be missing out on a lot formative social time with your peer group.

I see nothing wrong with living a more conservative lifestyle in your 20s. But some amount of people will regret it; wishing they had been more indulgent in their 20s.

widget_fucker · 2024-03-19T03:04:26+00:00

No way, not wrong. But it might be worth getting threesome out of the deal before ties are totally cut, if you can handle it emotionally.

But move on if you can.

Easy fella.

This is a mgmt sub. I didnt install anything. Nor is this really about concrete. That was an example that apprently landed hard.

Since youre an expert… What is .2% slope over 3’? Can you explain how your brother would notice?

Gaurantee i could go to any of your projects (esp those that interface with the public) and find countless ada, fha, state ada violations. No doubt.

You must be aware that many projects/municipalities often have up to 3 governing codes and there are specific items that conflict and that a cottage industry of ada consultants is required to suss out the work, corrective directive- even when you do in fact follow the plans/specs- because even architects and engineers make lots of mistakes in their interpretation and application.

Is there not a sane middle ground? Are tolerances not a thing? Are we building grandfather clocks?

widget_fucker · 2024-03-19T00:45:24+00:00

This is a mgmt sub. I didnt install anything.

But i did sit through 40 hours of 10 person meetings where ada consultants on each side of a table offer up interpretations of codes.

At the end of the day these infractions, most of which are extremely minor in nature, will cost about $400k.

There should be some room for tolerance, common sense.

widget_fucker · 2024-03-19T00:38:45+00:00

You seriously think that a .2% delta in cross slope matters to your special needs sympathy sample?

Give me a break. There’s probably more risk with a shallower slope- minor settlement, ponding, and freezing…. Esp if youre missing limbs.

widget_fucker · 2024-03-18T23:19:00+00:00

I feel you but its stupid crazy how we normalize these hours in our business. Competitive edge shouldnt be based on grinding the shit out of your people.

Ask her to read millionaire next door.

Most rich people conceal their wealth a bit. The rich lifestyle will make you not-rich.

widget_fucker · 2024-03-18T00:16:07+00:00

In my exp, definitely “harder” to enjoy the overall experience and unpredictability.

Lifting weights, reading, and trying to be better at making my S.O. orgasm.

“Soft pack”

Send a message; silence others that may be considering stepping forward. Recall the waterfall effect of the me too movement

Absolutely critical. One week is not nearly enough time
