common sense is out the window

one thing i would recommend to anyone who puts in a camera system in to put in a separate external hard drive, so if they do break in and take the recorder you still have the external hard drive recording just put it somewhere else...

well that was an interesting trip down, my g/m told me yesterday that she had to go down anyway so it killed 2 birds with one stone.
measured the place mapped out the best locations to place the cameras to protect the company/employees/customers. so will start figuring out what's going to be needed tomorrow. figuring on the amount of cameras will be there for at least a week. love a good challenge.....

have been up in conover, nc again... after all that work we did on the building ahead of being inspected by the county and spending 10's of thousands of dollars..
the county said no to what he wanted to do there without installing a sprinkler system and that was going to cost him 250k.. all i could do was laugh and grrrr at the same time for all the work we put into the place.......

so he bought another property down the road that had a sprinkler system, it was an old furniture factory. we drove up there last thursday and he gave me a tour. we went though the office door and into a clean warehouse...thinking to myself whats the problem...
he took me over to the other half where the production was going on....
omg what a cluster f...
was told the old owner have till april 15th to get everything out, but everywhere they had equipment they just cut the wires and put tape over the ends or not...
so to get the power turned back on needed to either remove or pull everything back to the first junction box and nut it...
we went up there this tuesday and got to work, of course every thing is in our way...grrrr
had my helper do one side and i did the other that had the 400 amp buss way......
we found that certain wires went back to the breaker panels ,so we left them till last opened up the big panel it was full of saw dust and the power company was coming out thursday to turn the power back on.

so Wednesday evening turned off all the main breakers.

Thursday morning they showed up at 7am and they turned their end back on, there was no way i was going to flap any breaker on at that point... opened all of the breaker panels , everyone of them was slap full of saw dust and the transformer on the ground was covered in 6" of sawdust inside of it.. how in the hell that place never blew up because of a electrical fire is beyond me...

spent 3 hours blowing out every panel and gas heater's in that place Thursday morning before feeling comfortable about flipping a breaker....

ok everyone of the panels clean, flipped the panel with the lights on, holy crap you can see whats going on in there...

now that there is power, should mention that there is no gas or water in the place.... a deep freezer is more comfortable than the building......

with that said the owner whats the gas turned back on....
the only way he can get the gas turned back on is when the old owners remove the curing oven, since it runs along the back of the oven and the sprinkler company to remove all the sprinkler lines inside the ovens and paint booths...this goes back to they have april 15th to get everything out.....

now in the meantime "the owner" us ba up there to fix a wall and remove all the plastic airlines.... the lift i have will not fit though the opening between the buildings.....

i love a good challenge......

& U bought it? Really? Tell me it isn't so.

lets put this way the majority part is over, have to be there for when they turn on the gas,water, alarm,internet.
the rest is a cake walk... putting up the wall , install new airlines, running new electrical, remove whats left of the old electrical from the over side one they are gone.

at least on my end there's going to be a hiccup or two along the way.. just going to roll with the punches as they pop up.....
