It was a very difficult move, taking us a week.
I put in 16 hour days....
Set up gantry crane, cut open 1st floor, remove
brick structure supporting 5 floors, re-framing
building before removing it, making skids for
parts, fixing floor when done, loading trailer,
strapping down parts, etc, etc.
I sympathize with his expedient approach.

Muchly conscientious

A bit more work than tossing it out of the window.

Did a building inspector check your finished work was up to standard?

The building's owner had no insurance.
No government got involved.
I inspected the building & my work.
The owner approved.

BTW, we just put a little shed ("lean to")
addition on at the museum. I paid $2800
for engineering work that was totally
unnecessary because of government.
**** government.

Oh wow, really wow. I've just been looking up Flossie (from post #154,361). One of the question on Google is.

"How old is a 26 year old cat?"

You may have done it right but in many many cases criminal negligence in building practices takes years and even changes in ownership to discover. The reason the system has evolved is that people are negligent, ignorant and even criminal and there needs to be a way to check that behavior. If you're going to swear at anything, swear at human nature.

Can you guys believe we are the only ones in Europe who do the three like this?

"May have"?
Piddelwhumper!

I favor building codes & inspections.
But they've gotten out of hand, eg, $2800
for engineering of a small shed addition that
is extraordinarily likely to pose any risk
to anyone or anything.
A contractor I know says that 25% of the cost
of every remodeling job he does is for permits
& inspections. You can argue that it's worth the
cost, but there's also the issue of ballooning
housing prices that make people homeless.
Not a good balance of competing interests IMO.
The reason the system has evolved is that people are negligent, ignorant and even criminal and there needs to be a way to check that behavior. If you're going to swear at anything, swear at human nature.
You should grok by now that I rage against
the unreasonable, not the reasonable....or do
you advocate hideously expensive unnecessary
government dictates?

Winning by looking at a lot of posts on RF that I could get involved in, and then realizing it would be a waste of time pointing out the silliness, outright ignorance, lack of usage of facts of others, since it would change nothing….and to be honest…frankly I just don’t care
