Saw the one on HBO Max, and the Netflix one. They were both pretty good, although they were vastly different. The Netflix one was spine tingling, showing footage from inside the sub on test dives, and you can audibly hear the carbon fiber cracking and popping. SR was an idiot, but he had balls...
Previously, when I would insert a PDF in AutoCAD, I would get a nice clean conversion, with everything editable:
All the lines were clean and sharp. Recently when I try to Import a PDF it converts like this:
And the lines are not sharp:
We did switch from Adobe to Nitro a while back...
I have heard a few old timers refer to Riser Checks a "straight gut" valves. But I am in the Pittsburgh area. None of us speak the Kings English [wink]
I agree with the above 100%. This is not the way I would do it. Although, as I stated above, I have seen it required in Pittsburgh a couple times. One attachment shows them being used for a window near a property line (buildings were only a foot or two apart).
The other attachment shows...
@cdafd I have seen this required in the Pittsburgh area. And the reasoning I was given: to prevent the glass from blowing out onto somebody trying to use the fire escape?
@sprinklerdesigner2 you said your job has OPEN wood trusses, yet the quote from the submittal mentions SOLID wood joists or trusses. doesn't sound like apples and oranges?
I had a similar situation on an open parking garage we did a few years ago. The building was built 5 feet off the property line, and the AHJ made us add a water curtain to the open side closest to that property line.
Ok, so I recently had an engineer and an uncertified sprinkler "designer" tell me that NFPA states when performing hydraulic calculations, you need to end up with a cushion of 7 psi below your water source? I have scoured my copy of NFPA 13, and I do not see where this is stated? I think they...
I believe this issue has been brought up on here before, but I can't find the thread. NFPA13 states that galvanized piping must be used in a dry system (NFPA13 2013ed. 8.4.7.2), however this is listed in the section 8.4.7 CMSA Sprinklers. So, if I read that correctly, this only applies if you...
I love when other contractors use Schedule 7, because, much like NewtonFP said, it rots out fairly quickly. We have replaced a TON of it in the past few years, and most of it wasn't that old. Personally, we only use schedule 10 & schedule 40. Saves having to worry about getting called back to...
I work from home from time to time, although it is company work, not side work. At the office, we have a subscription seat for AutoCAD, and I use HydraCAD as well. AutoCAD lets you use their product on more than one computer, but only on one computer at a time. HydraCAD can be used on any...
