Textured Tuesday: Ceiling Grids



I was walking through the shopping center, 
on my way to the grocery, looking for pictures
on a dreary day. And I saw it - a grid for 
a drop-down ceiling rushing to a point 
somewhere near the back of Tinbuctu, 
regulated perfection with Romex and flexible 
cable hanging in wavy anticipation
for their fixtures.  


Somehow, the pictures didn't come out as I'd planned; 
the camera's eye saw the perspective and grid 
differently than my own eye interpreted it.

Boy howdy! Whoever put that wiring in is due for a bollocking. If I were snagging this job I'd have them kicked off site. Sheesh! Use cable trays, you dorks.
Very nice and arty photos of sights that drive me crazy every day, Speedway. Hee hee.

Well, the next time you are in Speedway, I invite you to wear your nice, sturdy work-site boots, take your British accent into the den of good ol' boys and ask them why they didn't use cable trays. (If it's not required by code, you can bet they dispensed with them to get the lower bid.)

Yup They call it "Value Engineering", I call it "building on the cheap".

Well, my first thought when I saw the wires all akimbo was that I would bundle them with plastic ties, so they could at least be moved as a group.
