See the balcony drains? See how they are directly above the exhaust vent???

When holiday falls on Sunday, we get Monday off, or paid Double Time. What a way to start the work year.

Excellent scupper placement, and I like how the vent protrudes 3" into the accent brick...

At least they had some functional drainage. The three year old building next to me had to replace all their exposed balconies and a bunch of stucco due to water damage from improper drainage.

I guess they didn’t have much of a choice

Water, temperature differentials and extra joints won’t be a problem I’m sure.

I love design fails like that in new construction. I understand some compromises but sometimes it’s like they just didn’t even try.

They put our diesel generator almost directly under the outside air intakes for our air handlers in our new expansion. Nobody even gave a thought to this until the gennie was fired for the first time.

I had to evacuate my shop one day last year, because the fires up a directional boring machine directly next to my air intake. I had a bitch of a headache all day.

Sure they did. You’re thinking in reverse. From the inside, moving it to the right by a few inches would take it right out of the white brick.

That’s the support beam. Should have reduced it 3" I’d guess. There is other problems here besides looks.
