If I were opening a restaurant near BSFS, I think I would give it this name.

well, bookie, beams are horizontal so these, being vertical, are columns.

 :shakesfist:

Ok, then...  Why are the COLUMNS not all the same height?  I'm afraid this thing is all messed up.  :runaway: :runaway: :runaway:

1- architecture. look at the different roof heights and parapets and other castle crap
2- perspective.

but im not ITK so for all i know they really did eff everything up

it's fine multistory columns have to be splice together. you place the lower portion first, then once framing has progressed enough, you connect the upper portion.

Thanks, ArchE... I sort of assumed that it was something like this. However, I had a hard time getting my head around why they all just wouldn't be the same length even if there was splicing to be done later.

other than rotating the cold recovery tank near field entry, does anyone know ways the facility has changed from these preliminary drawings?   :cyclist:

Reduced seating, enlarged terraces.

Different height columns due to different connection types between the columns and beams, and also due to different ceiling heights.

Splice height differences also to avoid having splices throughout the structure all in the same plane

I just want to thank sometimes Stud John Currie for making this project happen, so I can go look at the webcams anytime I think about Bruceketball (that Currie also created) and feel a little better.

One of ben ji's buds is an enginerd working on the project and just texted me saying JC is in their office right now. He is super dedicated to building nice things.

Maybe JC is in there to say "Welp, we have another 50 million dollar donation coming our way. Would a lazy river around the field be structurally feasible with our current plans?"
