Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

TP holder

 

Something Terex, didn't look at that drawing good when the boss ask me about it. He made one of just these two pieces and that's the one I had.

 

I've gone through the stack of plans.

I'm pleased to report that there was no fire involved.

Although some of the plans looked like they had been flooded at some point.

There was a surprising lack of coffee cup rings, too.

Final tally - I'm hanging on to ONE set of "plans" from 1975 (that's all of 2 sheets) to show a few people because I've never even heard of the building. Probably because it was never built.

 

Those are lifting eyes for cranes to hook to heavy machinery. They work as a pair for like a 6" clevis.

From Google:

 

Every job I had was rush
Hurry up
How much longer
Taking to long.
But I voted wants a job.
Cause
I had to

 

The company these are for does a lot of screening, not sure if it goes on one of those machines or not.

 

We’re movin’ so fast I’m gettin’ holes cored before the concrete’s even poured.

 

I hope a pdf will suffice.

Dancing/basketball/volleyball area, figure skating, weight room, Zamboni room, sauna, Jacuzzi, skate sharpening, two hockey rinks/soccer fields, a skybridge, billiards room AND a Jukebox?

What DOESN'T this place have?!?

And we never built it.

 

Course Not. You make money hosting those events. Kinda defeats the purpose.

 

Hurry up? Try working HVAC in the summer. I had a job list, as work came in. Some were repeat customers that needed a shot of freon every year. They would not let me gas them up early in the year..... Or, my tractor AC quit last fall but I didn't need it till now, it's hot in the cab....

I worked for 8 different grocery stores in the area. They went to the top of the list when they called. A dead walk-in freezer is a lotta $ inside. Get there morning, noon, or midnite and fix it, or help them move product till I can get parts.

The only other folks that went to the top of the list were elderly, or just home from the hospital, or just had a new baby.

Self employed for 40 years had it perks but... my help sucked (me) and my boss was an asshole (me).

 

right there with ya except a different line of work.

 

What line of work?

 

Clean pools and repair swimming pool equipment

 

Back when I worked in a machine shop that supplied parts to a lot of aviation companies, we'd get slammed with requests like that all the time. We'll put you to the front of the line...for a price.

Got a call from Gulfstream once that not one but THREE of their customer jets had suffered birdstrikes and they needed a leading edge for each of them.

"No, next week isnt gonna work, we need them NOW!!!"

Didn't even flinch when we quoted them a 300% markup.

 

They probably quoted their customers at 500% mark up.

Don't forget the 2nd floor running track!

 

Valid point

 

Strip club, and one of those spinny meat things they make Gyros out of.

 

I’d like to be the pole.
