Looking Good

Despite what your mother told you, in cladding, looks count.

Doin' the Macarena

Q. What do you get when you cross glass with a job site radio playing the Macarena?

A. A new piece of glass.

In this case curtain wall units were laying down flat and somebody decided to use them as scratch- er- a- dance floor.


Scarred for Life

Q. What do you get when you cross coated glass with weld splatter?

A. A new piece of glass.

In this case, a lot of new glass. The glass was damaged as the contractor welded supplemental anchors to the floor beam without protecting the glass below. You would think that after the first 10 or 20 lights they would have figured it out by themselves.


Timing is Everything

"So you're saying, I should've welded the studs on the back of the panel before I painted it."
