And maybe have a quick peek up the attic at the roof trusses or rafters before piling tons of shingles on them. I've often watched truckers and roofers use cranes or lift trucks to stack huge piles of shingles on a small piece of roof and wondered how they figured that small patch of roof would hold it.
Two pallets is a lot, but that would have almost certainly held if placed further towards the end of the gable where the weight is spread over more rafters/trusses.
Doosh tools too lazy to spread the squares of shingles out. Or too stoopid. Anyone who has gone past a house getting new roof would easily see the squares spread all over so as not to have gravity do what it does when overloading a joist or truss!!
#5 Yes, I remember that one. My employer had a fleet of six Challengers at the time so anytime a Challenger crashed we paid attention. IIRC the plane was loaded so far forward that the nose didn't lift off the ground when the pilot pulled the yoke back. #3 I've seen that happen twice at the same construction site. When I had shingles delivered on the roof at my first house I picked the bundles off the crane and distributed them along the full length of the ridge to spread the weight. Al_in_Ottawa
Before you giggle too much, take a look at the inside. Installing a deadbolt on even a full light door is a perfectly normal additional security and usually employs a double cylinder lockset. A window adjacent to the lock doesn't make it useless in any way. It's about keeping honest people honest and/or preventing small children from wandering off anyway, the bad guys will get in no matter what lockset or door you have.
Re #8, we went to look at an SUV at a dealer, and when the key was put into the rear hatch lock, it went right into the door. Needless to say, we went elsewhere. And if it's a double-keyed deadbolt, what's the problem? In fact, THAT'S exactly the lock to install.
I think this is a regular lock cylinder that failed. Where I work at we do commercial storefront doors. The cylinders that have removable cores go into a hole that isn't round, but looks like 2 holes that overlap a bit. Almost like someone stuck a double barrel shotgun muzzle into the mud. Of course it could be romovable but a different brand than we usually deal with.
#9 took me a moment. Good zoom helped. I'm guessing from the grain elevators that this isn't in a city, which would probably have an overpass somewhere, so there's probably no viable alternate route to take.
#3 - First, strip the old roofing before hauling up the new material. And more importantly, don't let the new guy work unsupervised.

DeleteIt's not necessary to strip the old. But don't pile the entire new roof on one point. The bundles should be scattered around. Delivery fail.

#3 Oops.
ReplyDeleteSome good Monday's there for sure.
What's going on in # 9?
ReplyDeleteFire trucks held up by a train.
DeleteI had to zoom in and look close to figure it out
DeleteMaybe they're on the way back from a call.
DeleteLooks to me like their emergency lights are on.
DeleteMr. George, How much you pay for the new guy? $20 it's too much, he's no good, no good operator.
ReplyDelete#1 That black car must have been going pretty fast to squeeze under the other car.
ReplyDelete#9 is small town life. Railroad doesn't give a shit about blocking crossings.
ReplyDeleteThey pretty much don't give a shit in big ones, either.
DeletePhoto #1 is in my town, Maryville, TN and it's been several years since it happened and I still can't wrap my head around how that wreck transpired.

#4 Your order is experiencing a slight delay.

I laugh every time I see a deadbolt lock installed next to a door's window.

#7. Honey? Can you come pick me up? The car fell in another hole again!!
ReplyDeleteFailed, or was it pulled?
