That's load bearing tape, don't remove that.

Its like the random 2x4 holding up $60,000 worth of network hardware

Honestly they should redo this as far as structural stability is concerned. The strength and tolerance itself is fine I'm sure, but it's disturbed the surface of the concrete and that's going to lead to water infiltrating and corroding the pillar.

Concrete forms a natural PN ion outer layer which keeps water out, but once that gets disturbed then it soaks up water which becomes mineralized and corrodes the iron rebar hella fast.

The pillar looks so low that ot might be a bench or something

That’s a Stanley FatMax, and aren’t exactly cheap.

One of the best you can get for the price at least. Always weird seeing a contractor NOT using one.

I'd be pissed if I had to repurchase a $20-30 tape measure.

Not to mention the shit you’d get from your crew/boss for losing it in such a way. You’d never live it down.

Not to mention it isn't exactly in a good spot. I'd imagine that this spot would break down faster than the rest of the concrete.

Wow. Without any scale, I thought it was the top of a class ring.

To be specific, the construction worker needs this many hearts to retrieve it: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

But not like this: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💛💛💛💛💛

The great bulldozer should warn him about this first!

You sir, what’s your name?

“Hammer… Jackson Hammer.”

[Scribbles]
Ham…mer… that’s with two M’s?

“Yes… why?”

Mr. Hammer, here’s your citation for destroying the bench. You can call this number here to inquire about court dates and fines.

If I'm not mistaken this is at the entrance to Universal in LA. If not, there was one like it there.

the one true craftsman

Too much compression artifacts, can't identify.

Anyone remember when a labourer buried a jersey in the concrete at the new Mets stadium and the jackhammered it out?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

...Or the protagonist of Teardown.
