Today, in adventures with detailing MEP systems, I need to figure out a cohesive way to depict on a plan how there are actually 2 concrete penetrations for these 2" vent pipes. I model in each sleeve because there are post tension cables in thes 10" thick concrete slabs, so if it means moving a vent a few inches to keep the building structurally more sound, then I can do that. I guess. :)
In this case I will put in a section view and ask the General Contractor if those will even be ok on the slab edge, there is usually metal edging and a LOT of rebar there too.
PS, the larger penetrations are toilets. Because pooping is important!

An inversion of fatigue. No, not the opposite of such, rather a set of feelings that I was able to grasp while in the depths of a heavy fatigue episode last night and this morning.
I calmly just went to the bed. I tried letting family know, and usually me and wife watch a show before I go to bed. Not last night, I was wholly spent. I am not sure what triggered this but it was like a page of transluscent paper had been placed over my current art. I could think mostly internally, but nothing came fully to surface, I finally went to sleep.
This morning a similar episode after being up for a few minutes. I had a bit of morning caffeine, then just felt heavy again. I went back to the bed for about 20 minutes and laid in, almost awake but again, that haze over my artwork. I felt like I was under water looking out at the world through a haze of light oil, like you put on a boiling pot of water for pasta maybe. I could see out, I could see me, inside, but it was just a haze and could only manage to keep hold of my observations. Stronger thoughts came up as I felt through my task list, a few problems to solve, etc. Then I FELT it, as if the page of translucent paper was lifted and turned up. I came oht of the water and I was clearer of thought. I was truly awake finally. I am. ot sure what to do about it, but observation is a good start.
I hope to be able to have mote control or planning next time. This isn't the first or last it will happen of course.
But can you UNSOLDER it?!
Yes! And in this case the yeti mic lives on as we put a new mini usb connector back in, new life! I wish I had my little solder vac sucker thing, but I got it out anyways with some fanangling.
