Documenting on high

Today I’m doing some live Revit documentation of a church steeple. Really cool stuff.

Apparently the top of the steeple is leaning for the least 100 or so years. The intent is document the structure to see if a suitable jacking point can be used to right the steeple.

Water has done a number over the years but overall the building is in fine shape. I really like the rock counter balance on top of the bell.

Looking skyward to the top of the steeple. Clearly my iPhone flash is not bright enough to illuminate all the way up.

Corner structure detail. It was fun figuring out how all the loads are transferred down. Cold job this am and the entire steeple shook a lot when the wind picked up. Below is an image from my finished Revit model.

Random photos

Just some random photos from the past week.

Clockwise: The boys in uncle Richie’s shop. On the way home from NJ we checked out the shop. It came out great and Richie is very happy with it.

GMan opening his new and very cool sneakers. The name on the box says it all.

The shop that Al designed….outside of Richie shop. Would love to have one just like it in my own back yard!

Bowling time

I brought the kids bowling on Sunday. I bowed out based on my bum thumb. The good news is it’s getting better and the kids had a good time anyways.

JMan launches one down stream. By launching I mean he typically hit the floor about 1/2 down the lane! However, look at that form.

GMan on the other hand had a tad more control, but I’m not digging his form, or baggy pants.

Camera man

GMan ran a camera at his school’s football game tonight. Turns out he’s got a good eye and was ask by the commutation manager to cover the game.Apparently it was a live feed but we’re not sure where. In any event he had a good time and was asked back for more.The LA Spartan easily handled Milton. Can’t remember the final score but it was twenty something to six…..He said next time he’ll wear gloves and a winter coat!Photo credit: Mr. Bishop (Lawrence Academy). GMan is the light gray hoodie on the left at the railing.
