Hey Wendell, go easy on the replies when I'm editting...

Ok, a little blurry. Well, he's the videographer, not me.

He spent about a half hour interviewing me and it's very stressful. You tend to want to look in the eyes of the interviewer, not the camera. But then you look like an idiot. And well, I 'm still not comfortable discussing 9/11.

The job being performed is a monitoring job under the MTA subway box. We installed hooks in the ceiling, which is the invert slab of the subway.


By ssz0407 at 2011-08-20

Then we run a bench from a stable point and observe the hooks by hanging a tape on a paint roller extension. Looks funny but it was the only way to fit the whole rig in, There was no room to back up.

A close up of the tape rigged onto the extension rig.

Turns out we can monitor, after a LSA, to several thousandths. Beating the remote monitoring system again.

You are, of course, forgiven.

I'll figure out the pic format one day...

72 floors, on the way to 104. The last 10 are tall floors; mech rooms, visitor areas, restaurants, etc.

22 days to 9-11.
Maybe I'll get my life back on the 12th?
Hah, who am I kidding...
