The weight of water (62.4 lbs. per cubic foot) makes that a miracle that kid hasn't been injured or killed by the balcony collapsing due to an overload. Example: if it's 12 feet long, 4 feet wide and 2 feet deep, that's 96 cubic feet of water at 62.4 lbs./ft^3. or a total of almost 6,000 lbs.nm (3 Tons) Let's assume my dimensional guessing is off by 50%. This is still a 3,000 lb load on a deck made to support a small number of people. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the risk of push out on the railing, which is far weaker than the balcony beneath it. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's really committed to it, he'll let it continue to grow as is. Interestingly enough, that's the same reason my former Mother-in-Law now wears long pants when using the weed whacker. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did the Army Air Corps allow him to fly, for instance? He had a hell of a life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 The Royal Air Force let Douglas Bader fly with two prosthetic legs, so maybe a leaky heart valve wasn't disqualifying. Mr. Shelby did indeed have a hell of a life and we are better off because he did.  3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A hot rod guy I knew, when I asked, Supercharger or turbo? replied, if you can go up: supercharger. If you can't, go sideways: turbo. Unless the engine is exposed, it all depends on where the empty space is. Is that a striaght-six or a straight-eight flathead? Hard to tell even after counting the ports for the exhaust manifolds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
