that waist-high wall intentionally blocking the stairs from going all the way to the lower floor, so you have to walk around past the front door

Surely it was the weight of the rope/tape pulling the rest of it downwards after some point?

We had to let Enrique go because he contracted the rona.

This is it. The insurance adjuster’s nightmare. An hour of sketching and another hour pulling it into Exactimate sketch. For a couple of water stains. PainterofCrap fucked around with this message at 02:49 on May 16, 2020 |

It's somehow both open and claustrophobic because of how things are broken up and the way the ceiling slopes.

The tape is not nearly long enough to explain a free fall that long. It is almost certainly the weight of the tape pulling the rest of it down once the nut has hit the bottom.

How does having a tape of insufficient length to plumb a mineshaft prove it's not a mineshaft?

drgitlin posted:The tape is not nearly long enough to explain a free fall that long. Do you mean it fell for too long given the length? Well, yeah in a frictionless vacuum, sure. The depth would be just over 2800 meters in that case. I mean more likely explanations are: terminal velocity, bouncing off the sides/outcroppings, and friction from the tape as it slides against the edge of the opening slowing the journey to the bottom/end of the tap.

I'm about 80% sure that they found a weird hole then went down about 2m and the guy who got down there noticed that he could duck in a little crevice and not be seen from above. So then they filmed the cool tiktok of the guy yanking down line as fast as he could.

Is a deep well the biggest impossibility in this thread? At first I thought the weight of the tape was keeping it going after a bit, too. If you watch at the end, the tape snaps taut againts the cross member he's attached it to.

I'm going to have to do something not that different in my place, because the builders cut a 2-gang hole for a 1 gang socket, so my choice is either a) lots of hassle to fill half the gap and paint it, or put in a double and not have enough room for the full architrave.

Fill it! It's not that bad. Get some hot mud and knock it out.

drgitlin posted:The tape is not nearly long enough to explain a free fall that long. It is almost certainly the weight of the tape pulling the rest of it down once the nut has hit the bottom. That's probably a 50m plastic tape (might be a 30m) that's been unwound out of it's case. Even with case they weigh about a kilogram so given there was no change of speed whatsover in the unwinding and a big swing when the tape went taut, it's almost certainly hanging. Without the weight of the bolt the momentum of the tape wouldn't have been enough to pull through the friction of the coils of tape and it would have stopped after a few meters. This is what happens if say you try and throw it over a tree branch without a weight. As to the idea someone below is pulling out the tape. Anyone who's ever handled that type of tape regularly will know exactly how absurd the idea of pulling it in by hand at anywhere near the speed of gravity is. (Hint: Utterly and completely.)

Re: brick chat, there is a newly built extension to a house near me where all the exterior brickwork (which is going to be in front of block so is hopefully non supporting) is completely aligned, no staggering at all and it looks completely and utterly wrong.

Stacked bonds remind me of schools built in the 60 and 70's, maybe more of a mid mod style? I think it looks good on the right application.
