Random Picture Thread

I'm old school bro. ¼" per foot on 8½"x11" paper. I'm an old man. I've had engineers come out multiple time and ask me, "what do you think will work?" I said 4"x12" headers downstairs and 4"x8" headers (beams) upstairs. 2"x6" studs 16" on center down stairs and 2"x4" studs 16" on center on the second floor. He went and drew the prints after we were framed. Passed every inspection.
Im old school too. I used to have to use a tape measure to scale measurements on prints out in the field for 1/8 " and some used to be 3/32"(Jack azzes) scale off walls ect . Center off Concrete beams ect and center to center measurements.

I would have to give the concrete all the locations for the anchor bolts for the hold downs. I'm like, "go figure that shitt out yourself. You're the concrete guy." Then he would want to charge me for any retro's. Fukk that. I started telling the concrete guys, "this is where I think they go. Use my measurements if you want to. I'm not responsible if you use my measurements and they are off. Your concrete, your bolts, your job."
 
You use a Scale ruler to draw by hand man. 99.99%of all drawings/blue prints are done by Cad and @1/8" scale.. some at 1/4", but majority is 1/8" for all trades these days and printed off a Plotter

I draw with a sharp pencil and a scale ruler. 8½" x 11" copy paper. Most of the custom house blueprints, residential housing, and apartments are ¼" per foot in my experience. Mini prints sukk out loud.

Scale with a 25' Stanley Fat Max right off the prints stained with red chalk and concrete dye. One pound of dye for 5 lbs. of chalk. I've seen houses that were snapped without dye disappear on a hot day in Vegas. If you don't have dye then you better clear coat your lines (at least the corners) after you snap them. It happens. Especially, on fresh concrete in the heat.
 

Dude didn't know his shitt and I called him on it. You notice he hasn't responded after he got called out. Check that, you probably haven't. Keep trying man. We're still waiting for you to actually contribute something car audio related.

You live in a fantasy world, don't you sunshine? Must be that Nevada sun just frying braincells all willy nilly. You mind numbingly misconstrued a compliment and when I kindly corrected you, you accused me of attacking a quinquagenerian. So I let sleeping dogs lie. Now it turns out that you mopped the floor with my rended corpse that was torn asunder by thy eloquent palaver!
