turtlespeed 226 #1 August 24, 2004 Fucking Architects! They fucking can go blow a Fucking Dead joe - the beastiality loving, ass licking, bukaki loving, sorryassed excuse for human feces! Just got off the phone with the , and they are once again retracting an approval for work that they have approved - no less than 7 times. We are trying to finish (read: start) engraving the granite for the Bonfire Memorial (it's been mentioned before) So we asked for a definate measurement from the top of the stone to the top of the text - they come back with an old copy of plans - I reject that one - they come back with another old copy of plans - I rejected that one too and said to look for such and such date on their copy, the one that was approved by THEIR office. They come back with - oh - um we decided that the previously approved copies won't work. What do you mean? You have 37 architects in that company - we have had one approval on top of another 7 total, and NOW - AS WE ARE APPLYING THE FUCKING STENCIL TO THE FUCKING STONE - you say wait a minute - WTF are you thinking? ARGGGGHHH Comere fucker - I have an approval for you ! We have had actual Size stncils hanging in the office for 3 months now - every one of the people accontable for the design has seen them. WTF?I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

turtlespeed 226 #15 August 24, 2004 There is going top be back charges - but the university only allows so much - it's in the contract docs. Time - accrued extra or not - is not allowed to be claimed in the liquidated damages. I do have the paperwork - signed sealed and stamped. 7 diferent versions - all changed - all signed - all different - but all - ALL - of them having the same separation in the location of the stone vs. the lettering. It took us 7 weeks to acquire the rubber stensils and they are saying that we tried to sneak something past them and are fightingthe change order.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZoneRat 0 #18 August 24, 2004 QuoteDoes someone need a blowjob? Apparantly the architects are fishing about for one... Seems like if you have an approved/ stamped blueline and acted accordingly, any money loss as a result of their retracting said approval should be their burden to bear, not the universities.

flypunk 0 #20 August 24, 2004 I totally agree with you... unless you didn't follow proceedure and don't have the paperwork to track it down. Other than that they should be in the clear.... but then again... A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised my friend I would meet him half an hour ago, but I don't know where I am." The man below says, "Yes. You are in a hot air balloon, hovering approximately 30 feet above this field. You are between 40 and 42 degrees North latitude, and between 58 and 60 degrees West longitude." "You must be an ARCHITECT," says the balloonist. "I am," replies the man. "How did you know?" "Well," says the balloonist, "everything you have told me is technically correct, but I have no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I am still lost." The man below says, "You must be a CONTRACTOR." "I am," replies the balloonist, "but how did you know?" "Well," says the man, "you don't know where you are, or where you are going. You have made a promise which you have no idea how to keep, and you expect me to solve your problem. The fact is you are in the exact same position you were in before we met, but now it is somehow my fault." ... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fact is you are in the exact same position you were in before we met, but now it is somehow my fault." There I fixed it for you - you, being an architect, obviously read about this, assumed it applied to this contractual problem, but have no "in the field" experiance to add to the mix. Hence, have "drawn" the opposite conclusion. Most architects, (not neccessarily you, Pier,) seem to think that if it is that way on paper then it MUST be that way in real life. So, in that, lies the problem. He (they)liked the way it looked on the paper they printed - we told them it wopuldn't work - they said - (from the joke - solve our problem or it's your fault) - that we needed to "make it work" so we did, with the best viable solution. We changed the location of where the stone split up the words. That was approved - They added punctuation - still the split was approved - they changed the size, added a credit at the bottom, introduced an alternate font style for just the number "1", Adjusted the distance from the top of the stone to the top of the letters, and then deleted some punctuation they felt was unneccessary - all of these were approved at one stage or another. Who is where they don't know, and has no idea where they are going ?And who's faul;t is it going to be?I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flypunk 0 #24 August 24, 2004 I see both sides since I used to be a contractor and I deal with so called designers all freaking day... I say you have every right to bitch. would build it and then charge them for the changes, now on the other hand the architect has every right to change his mind and play designer fool till the cows come home as long as they are paying for it. No conclusions no nothing just make em bleed for their changes, I know what you are dealing with, and it sucks!!! but still doesnt hurt to spin the turtle when he is on his back strugling Getting the subs to up their prices usually works with designers not with the nuts and bolts guys. ...
