A lot of that stuff looks like it was more an engineer or architect failure. Don't blame the guy with the hammer if the design is screwed up because some mooseknuckle who never used a hammer is trying to design stuff from his desk with nothing more than a college degree!!The official Bangshift garage door guru. Just about anything can be built using garage door parts, trust me. -

Got that collection on email today, so it's going around.
Of them all, the first one, the driveway....hard to tell where that is. Lots of hardwood trees, sort of hilly, maybe Virginia? No real idea. Well, no idea at all.
Either of three ways, that's not gonna work. Even in the South it snows or ices every few years, but the angle...no, that's not gonna work on a clear day. What's the popular term these days? FAIL?

I ws working a construction job when I was 17, running a jackhammer. Beating up concrete to make room for a new great big pump base in a paper mill.
We made a hole (on the 5th floor) and then the hammerheads (carpenters) came in and built the frame to pour the concrete into. They piped the concrete all the way up and smeared it around, and everybody waited a few days for it to cure.
Big ceremony. Bigwigs in white hardhats standing around, waiting for the wooden frames to be torn away.
It was backward. Facing north instead of south.
Beat the new concrete up and start the process again. Yeah, that was the way the drawing showed it. And nobody, but NOBODY noticed it was wrong until unveiling day. ...And the white hats get the big money. And the blue hats run the jackhammers, at least that's the way it was back then, when money was like...well, like air. The lost time was more of a freakout to the production guys, the cost of re-doing it was nothing by comparison, not to them.
Those were the days. Those days are gone. That was in the 70's.Last edited by pdub; April 19, 2011, 03:45 PM.Charter member of the Turd NuggetsComment

Maybe, but I've seen worse on pretty many sites.Originally posted by Stich496 View PostThe official Bangshift garage door guru. Just about anything can be built using garage door parts, trust me.Comment

I'm with Gene. I've seen worse, too. In my short career in the steel erection business we saw unbelievable stuff. The iron workers fixed a ton of stuff on site and never even mentioned it - parts that were supposed to bolt together but bolt holes in only one piece, that sort of thing. My mezzanine looks perfect by comparison, like the designer knew his/her business.
Not to say that some of these weren't Photoshopped. M.C. Escher lives!
