The Construction Thread

Sometimes you need to stand on one while using the other one, or use both of them to play catch-up prying a stubborn piece.

Deck gang: ugh.

Nice pix thor.
 
The young fellow has a local 22 sticker, which leads me to surmise that these pictures were taken in or near Indianapolis.
 
A guy fell 40 feet over at the new Chugach Electric Power Plant project. Nothing on the news, yet.
 

Always sucks when you drop something...lucky nobody was killed but it doesn't look to have dropped too far.
We did some work on that job

A practiced eye will note two different sizes of wrench. The fucking engineer spec'd two different bolt sizes.

Pretty standard. 3/4 and 7/8 or 1" connections. We always jump to 1" for a decent size beam.
 
Is this where I come to discuss rebar and how much I hate Gr 60 nonweldable?
 
we don't even buy nonweldable any more...too many schools and nursing homes are done with block now and we have to weld it to all the beams
 
MNDOT specs still call for nonweld unless I have to use coated, which are for bridges. Wisconsin uses black bar which is also a pain.
 
I welded a statue with my youngest using excess #7 bar. It was fun, mainly because he can brag to his friends that he and his mom welded this cool thing.
 
Funny thing about being in to piercings my whole life, metric and gauges are easy to pick up.
