  • 122 days must be the time to construct the actual machine and not the building plus the machine, right? Shit, just the dirt work is about 3 months on the colos I’ve been working on in Wyoming. The electricians take about 6 months to work their way down the whole building of 5 colos, so a month for something the size of what’s in those pictures.

    Cutting corners on power of that scale or the foundation holding up all that arc flash hazard is asking for trouble, IMO. And in WY they are using huge evaporative coolers but in TN they must need to use either liquid cooling or regular refrigerant AC systems because it’s so much more humid.












  • I fished a wedding ring out of a basement shower drain with one of those flexible grabbers. Drain is made of iron pipe and embedded in concrete, so even demolition may have lost or destroyed the ring. It was past the trap and could be seen with a small snake camera. I had a flexible grabber that was spring all the way to the end, we stuck the camera in, and I got the ring after about 5 minutes of careful manuvering.
