base plates are set to a thou, and you work your way up floor by floor
he had a Wild N2 level that had a micrometer in the crosshairs

I am familiar with a T2, but not the N2.....

it was a long time ago
I believe the T2 was a transit/theodolite, and the N2 was a level with micrometer
handling this stuff as a kid made me do what I do today

I popped over to the Wild site. More than likely, we used an N2 or similar when I was surveying my way through college. The T2 was a precision theodolite normally used for triangulation work. Ours had an inverted image. The T16 was the workhorse theodolite for most property and construction surveying.

Yes, the T16 comes to mind as well
But I know he had one with an inverted image. Could have been me using it in college as well., long time ago
There were a lot of projects and he was issued a lot of instruments.

I hate it when wire welders shorten the wire on a work bench instead of using clippers.
Show some class, even if you have a hot naked babe strapped to the bench.

Nope, 2 story building. Upstairs bathroom, used by the tenant there, made the toilet downstairs, spray shit, shit water,a nd all kinds of nastiness all over the bathroom, including filled the shower with the same, due to a broken line at 135 feet out.
I've seen some nasty ones but this was....not nice to put it mildly.

I cut a sewer line the other day that popped. I showered at the persons house. I showered at home. I'll shower again when I'm done posting this. Beyond gross, almost put me off my feed.

Nope, no special suits. It's really nothing a good shower and a thorough washing, wont take care of. And it wasn't bad for us. We came in there after the damage was done.
I do however wear a body condom, if I ahve to get into a septic tank, and I know I'll be to my waist in waste.

All's I know was it wasn't supposed to pop like it did. I'm glad I was outside and not under the house. Man the stench is going to linger...
regular snap.
Hey, someone was talking to me about you today

Was it ceramic pipe?
Yeah they will snap like that sometimes, and yes the stench can be brutal. But to be honest, I really dont smell anything anymore, unless it's really really bad.
And who is talking about lil ole me, I dare ask?
