Evening prognosticators of perfection.
My job: outside of normal, office cube shit... I get this issue thrown on my lap at 4:00 today.
One of my projects is converting the 100+ year old, 400,000sf marble New York Life building to luxury condos. On the 12th floor there's a clocktower terrace with 7' tall, 8000lb eagle statues placed atop posts. 10 total.
So, I get an email with a picture attached showing a crack monitor...
2 of these eagles are failing and may tumble onto the sidewalk below (150').
So, tomorrow I am going on site to formulate a strategy to stabilize the movement. I have to hurry.
Not much pressure.![]()

Lee couldn't guard Valentine's jock strap. He would get two fouls in the first 2 minutes. Of course he usually does that anyway…but no way you put Lee on Valentine. Poythress maybe…but not Lee.
Dude, that's awesome stuff. Good luck!My job: outside of normal, office cube shit... I get this issue thrown on my lap at 4:00 today.

I gave them your number.and your reply was???? Prostitution, manufacturing and selling meth...sounds like a couple winners for the winners.
You came back!Wow, not sure to laugh or cry? Sad really.
Yes.... Plus cables, plus steel dunnage. Once secure install a scaffold & rig local winch to lift marble eagle sculpture, set it down onto girded deck to dissipate point load. Disassemble the the marble post, fix failing delaminated steel beneath... Reassemble marble post. Reinstall eagle.Do you build some kind of frame around those? Bunch of scaffolding? Completely out of my league. Maybe you should just get a crane and take them down.

Welcome back, Blu. Wonderful seeing you again.Hi guys/gals. Just a quick Hello.
Hope all is well with you/kiddos/families. Have not been on here forever, but excited about the tournament and cheering from Lake St Louis, Mo. (was kind of hoping that we would get put here in 1st round) but that ok too.
Will try to catch up, cannot believe this thread is still going? I think the last page I was on was around the 500 page?
Be good... and hope we do well in our games!!! How amazing is Ulis? I love him.

Yep. You're f'd.skipped the gym today to come home after work and mow the yard for the first time this year. Was high, front and back took over an hour on a riding mower. Cleaned up around the house. Wife and I had steaks and asparagus for dinner out on the picnic table on the back deck, then went and had frozen yogurt together. Then I fell asleep during the whole first half of the WSU/Vandy game. Completely exhausted.
One. More. Day. One day left without a kid. My life has come to this. Last day the rest of my life without a kid. Feels weird and don't know what to think about it. I'm happy and sad at the same time, more anxious to get it over with and meet her.
My last night with a good, long, full night's rest for a few months, apparently. Think I'll pop some benadryl and head to bed soon.
They could do yard work. There are like 6,000 yards in Funky's large village.

I always wondered what might happen if that neighborhood got all pissed off and Militia'd up. I'm just on the outskirts of it, so my little barrio would be one of the first to fall.They could do yard work. There are like 6,000 yards in Funky's large village.
Awwwww, he thinks trailer parks have yards. No, son. That was just some astroturf your dad put down in the driveway before he left 'to pick up a pack of cigs'.That's a HUGE trailer park!
South Florida grass is the best. Doesn't grow and feels like walking on needles, when you're not stepping on a lizard.I always dreamed of owning a home where I tore up all the grass in the yard for the entire lot, and replaced it with cement that I painted green.

Bless his heart. To this day, all the neighbors wonder why he plugs in the vacuum and stands out in the middle of the backyard ...I had to mow it.
