The Construction Thread

"For the first time since 1931, the Port Authority is going to build two bridges at the same time," said Bill Baroni, deputy executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The Bayonne Bridge will be raised to upgrade its clearance for container ships and will cost about $1 billion, while the $1.5 billion Goethals Bridge replacement will be built through a public-private partnership. The two projects are expected to create 16,500 jobs during construction, according to Baroni.

We'll miss the old Goethals, since repairing that thing has been a steady moneymaker.

They should have a nurse there to make sure the workers are feeling alright to do the job. I want my own office.

We'll give you a pass on account of being a female.

I got reprimanded for talking concrete. Maybe you could make your own furniture thread?

You can talk concrete, I just find it to be a depressing material.

...for construction workers, contractors, engineers, architects, tradespeople, and anyone else who works with their hands or makes money off of those that do.

Tell tall tales, bitch about the industry, post pix of jobs you've done, whatever.


Anything goes.

So I'm looking at the latest issue of my International magazine. In the "Safety and Health Department Report", there's a long screed about how we all need to vote Democrat this election. It ends with this:

...Now I know that some of our good union members vote Republican for one reason or another, whether it be the gun issue, abortion, gay rights, or whatever your issues are...

The "gay rights" thing is what caught my eye. Could anyone be such a fucking tool as to vote for the reverse side of the buttered bread just because of someone else's hole preference?

Yikes.

Boy Scouts earn merit badge in welding.

"March 2012- Synonymous with upstanding character and a willingness to learn, the Boy Scouts of America, with headquarters in Irving, Texas, spans the United States. As a result of direct feedback from scout youth and a helping hand from the American Welding Society, Miami, the Scouts are introducing a new badge for welding.

“We go out to a pool of our youth who have said they are willing to give us feedback, and we poll them on what they find interesting,” says Janice Downey, senior program innovation manager at Boy Scouts of America. “We made sure the poll reached a wide demographic. We asked how they felt about an opportunity to learn about welding, and the youth said they would love it.”

With approximately 130 different merit badges young people can earn, the experience is often the participants’ first exposure to the subject. “It’s an opportunity to experience and learn for both future hobbies as well as possible vocations,” says Renée Fairrer, public relations manager for the Boy Scouts of America."

Scoutmaster (at camp in abandoned inner city lot scattered with rusting shopping carts): "Johnny! Spill a bit of that oil on that pile of broken pallets." turns to pack leader "Billy put your welding merit badge to use and start our cooking fire"
Billy wheels over the portable tanks cranks the oxygen..."

Ahhh! Good pic. Reminds me of the time I was looking for my Dad at a construction site. I heard his voice from above, "Hey baseball boy!". He was sitting on a steel beam about 10 stories high, back against another beam, eating a sandwich on his lunch break. In his overalls. :)

What was your father's trade?
 
don't stand under the load!

I was bolting up on the intermediate floor this morning and the connectors warned me that they were about to start working right overhead. Good thing I got out of the way....two minutes later a 3/8ths choker parted and a 30 foot W18x35 came down two floors. There was some muted "what the fucking" and ironic cries of "medic" and "man down", but mostly everyone just kind of kept on working sheepishly.
