Using Draftsight for our computer aided design

 

Haven’t ever messed with that one

 

OSHA would approve putting me out of commission

 

Not familiar, I've only used SolidWorks and Fusion 360

 

If it werent for the refrigerant, residential furnaces and condensers would be some easy diy stuff. Anyone with half a brain and a box of self taping screws could do it.

 

Issue is you have to be a licensed gas-fitter to do a furnace here

 

Most everything here is electric. But I imagine a lot of people diy their gas water heaters and nobody knows the wiser.

 

I think I could get away with doing the water heater myself. I have an improving record with plumbing work haha. But without a gas leak detector I wouldn't wanna try. My water heater and furnace are in the basement, not a place I want explosive gas to build up. Electric furnaces are super uncommon here, I'm just having a 90% efficiency natural gas one installed.

 

Oh yeah gas detectors are cheap and its a no brainer to have one on hand.

My heat pump and air handler are brand new, its the 30+ year old duct work that needs to be replaced in my house. Cant wait to get that quote.

 

It's by Solidworks and it just relies on creating 2D drawings.

We'll create actual blueprints as needed using orthographic drawings, depicting multiple sides of an assembly. With that, detail sheet(s) as needed where more detail is required for any part of an assembly on the drawing. Then a separate sheet of the assembly but with all details removed, but instead has welding symbols in place to depict areas needed to be welded.

 

Yup I remember that stuff. Drawing 3 sides of an object, detail sheets etc. My new gig will have me on AutoCad doing schematics, thankfully thats all one sided.

 

My last experience with this stuff was on Autocad, but I'm talking many years back.

Our welding instructor is here, but we've got a retired engineer that's teaching the class.

Seeing his old portable drafting setup reminded me of my plotting board I used as FDC in the Marine Corps.

 

circa 1980s lmao

Someone born after the year 2000 definitely made that note

 

Sad part is my work blackberry from 10 years ago was more useful than my work android right now. The android could be more useful, but the way all the security is implemented is such a hack. Blackberry knew what they were doing.

 

With surprisingly old person styled hand writing

 

True, I was thinking you don't really see legible handwriting like that from gen Z'ers. Then again a lot of boomers still write in cursive, or cursive hybrid. Maybe it's just a clueless millennial

 

Huntington Library and Descanso Gardens, though Descanso is mostly just a big garden. Oh and Kidspace Museum next to the Rosebowl, which is a really cool interactive science-experiment type museum for kids. But I swear every time we go there we get sick the next day, so next time I'm bringing a can of Lysol and I'm gonna be 'that guy'.

If we lived closer to the CA Science Center or Natural History museum then we'd do those too, but for us those involve driving through downtown LA to get to. And I avoid doing that at all costs these days

 

Out surveying a new customer today. Old contractor fucked everything up. Customer said “i need two new compressors and 2 new vfds” but has no idea why. Told him ill go recheck it all before i qoute you anything.

so far found 1 compressor is grounded.
One compressor he didn’t ask me to look at was programed so wrong that the vfd acted like a contactor instead of a drive. So fixed that.

now to look at the rest

 

People shoving 6ft beds on DC’s needs to stop unless they stretch the frame


departure angle is good
